Visionary Communications

Be the Leader Who Inspires Others to Action

Finally a communications program designed for the senior executive! You’ve been speaking at meetings and to groups for years, so we know the last thing you need is a basic presentation skills program. Instead, what you need is insight into how leaders effectively communicate the important messages along with a methodology you can use to put your talks together.

Do you ever wonder how Lee Iacocca persuaded congress to loan Chrysler Corporation billions of dollars? How Lou Gerstner won the approval of Lotus employees after the IBM acquisition? How Carly Fiorina convinced shareholders to vote for the HP- Compaq merger? Their secret was the ability to leverage the components we call Visionary Communications. These components are the unique communications skills and tools that leaders use to not just make others act, but inspire them to act, an important distinction.

This program challenges senior executives to take all their communications to the next level. Along with other senior executives, you’ll discuss and analyze what successful leaders are doing. You will have numerous opportunities to get up and practice your talks. All your presentations will be videotaped. The tape, along with the instant feedback you receive, will be invaluable for helping you further develop your leadership communications.

The Visionary Communications program covers:

• Transformation Triangle for persuading listeners to embrace change
  • Executive Presence - look and deliver messages like a CEO
  • Key Message – be sure you get to the bloody point
  • Storytelling – bond to your listeners in the most memorable way
  • Visual Visionary – leverage symbolism and other visual tools
• Advocacy Model is an easy eight step template for how to write an inspiring and compelling talk that will result in action.
• Strategic Responses are simple techniques for responding more strategically when addressing questions and concerns.
