What's Stopping You? 6 Critical Strategies That You Know Of

Our next Leadership Webinar Series is: “What’s Stopping You?” 6 Critical Strategies You Know About But Aren’t Doing With Paul Jan Zdunek and Luci Gabel of Tipping Point Strategists

 

In this leadership presentation, experienced practitioners and strategists Luci Gabel and Paul Jan Zdunek share how successful organizations build, navigate and survive unpredictable times and how yours can too. Join us as we explore the critical strategies, most leaders know about but don’t implement, that create freedom for themselves and increase value for their organization.

High-Stakes Executive Presentation Skills

 

C-suite leaders are frequently called upon to speak – to present financial information to board members, inspire senior leaders to implement new initiatives, deliver feedback to employees, or share organizational best practices as speakers and panel participants. Irrespective of the high-stakes situation, for executives and senior leaders to generate the results they seek from their communication, they must navigate through real (and at times, self-imposed) barriers to communication success. 

Led by Alexia Vernon, a seasoned executive speaking coach with a unique ability to create safe spaces for senior leaders to develop their authentic speaking style and amplify their verbal and non-verbal speaking skills, in this experiential session, participants will heighten their presence and speaking delivery, explore speaking to the “head and the heart,” and sculpt more powerful calls to action so that every time they speak they come across as credible, likeable, and trustworthy. 

By the end of this session, participants will:

= Possess tools to navigate uncomfortable feelings that emerge in high-stakes speaking situations.

= Discover how to prepare for and excel during high-stakes speaking opportunities.

= Increase their persuasiveness (and self trust!) so that can move people to take action on their ideas.
