COMMUNICATION COACHING AND TRAINING FOR EXECUTIVES
Communicate
as well as you perform
If you’re done delivering a message five times and not seeing a single change… if you want to hone your communication as you did every other executive skill… if you’re ready to get things done.
Stop talking business as usual. See how to drive change through effective communication. With coaching and training designed for you.
No time to talk!
I need your help preparing for an upcoming presentation.
Let’s get things done.
I want to drive change through effective communication.
It’s not me. It’s them.
I want to invest in my team’s communication skills.
Shift your communication into high gear.
From functional
to full throttle.
You thrive on interaction. It’s the way you gain and provide insights as an executive. It’s how you drive change.
So imagine the difference when you shift into high gear. When your next presentation fuels a healthy debate in the board room. When you walk away from strategic planning with all the commitments your teams need. So they can once more exceed expectations.
Communication is how you deliver results. And custom communication coaching and training shifts you into a higher gear.

You don’t need the pyramid principle. YOU need to figure out how to convince the CEO.
There was a time when you needed to hone your non-verbal communication. At some point, you worked on your listening skills. Or mastered giving constructive feedback. All still critical skills.
But right now, you need more. You are at the point in your career where you face unique situations. Which means one-size-fits-all communication training no longer fits you.
You need an approach designed for you in your business reality. You need a trusted advisor, coach and trainer who understands the world of executives.

SOS Presentation
When you need quick tips to prepare your presentation.
You’ll never skip your executive summary again
The executive summary is typically at best a bit bland, but more often not there at all. So why should YOU consider it your new best friend for your next presentation?
Communication Style
Your communication needs to fit you. FInd out how to hone your style.
There are no best practices in communication
Just like your leadership style, the way you communicate is unique. So a one-size-fits-all approach makes little sense. But if you can’t adopt best practices, what CAN you do to grow?

From communication challenge to coaching fit-for-you
Your unique communication needs require highly tailored coaching and training programs. Still, you’ll find consistent principles underlying my approach.

2 – A custom blend of coaching and training
Your leadership skills and expertise are core to the approach we take together. That’s why we start with a coaching conversation. Your beliefs, strengths and obstacles determine the content of the working sessions to follow.
3 – Pragmatic working sessions. With strategic intent.
Based on the consult and coaching conversation, we work on your specific communication needs. You’ll get proven practices, effective processes, hands-on tools and templates. All things you can put to practice as soon as our session is done. All guided by your initial vision for success. So you get the business results you’re looking for.
