Leadership Communication Boot Camp

For New Leaders

Good communication is the key to success for every leader. Yet most people never receive any formal communication coaching or training. Without the communications toolkit that every leader needs to be effective, how can we expect them to be the inspiring and influential leaders we need?

This workshop will position new or soon-to-be leaders for success by ensuring they are equipped to look, sound, and perform like the leader their teams need — and do it in their own authentic way. From building leadership and executive presence to fostering healthy team cultures and retaining top talent, this workshop will lay the communication foundation that every leader needs to achieve their full potential.

This program is designed for professionals who have recently been, or are on track to be, elevated to a leadership role.

Topics include:

The Skills Required for Inspiring and Influential Leadership
Your Leadership Communication Style
Listening and Facilitating
Running Effective Meetings
Cultivating Winning Cultures: In-person and Remote
Leadership/Executive Presence

Leadership Communication Accelerator

For Mid- to Senior-Level Leaders

Today’s leaders must be expert communicators. From building leadership and executive presence to fostering healthy team cultures and retaining top talent, leaders who don’t master the art of communication are limited in their ability to succeed.

This workshop will help you communicate with purpose and confidence and inspire your people to do the same. The result? You’ll be a more effective and authentic leader and your teams will be better aligned with you (and better positioned for success).

This program is designed for mid- to senior-level leaders who want to significantly improve their leadership communication skills. It’s for people who strive to be the inspiring and influential leaders their people need — and who recognize that realizing your full potential as a leader is an ongoing process.
