Communicate With Executive Presence And Influence

Inspire. Captivate. Lead.

You’re a competent presenter and communicator with a long list of achievements, and you may well have been speaking for years.

Or perhaps you’ve just been promoted, and suddenly the expectations you have of yourself – and others have about you – have escalated. The stakes are higher, and appearing credible, competent and compelling, matters more than ever.

Whatever your situation, you’ve got to where you are today through drive, commitment and focus. So, when you’re looking for professional development, you expect to see an immediate difference in skills, value and performance.

Perhaps you need to inspire with a vision, seize a moment in time, and lead the way for others. All with the weight of scrutiny and expectation that comes with your role.

What are the usual triggers to enter coaching?

Clients usually come to me – or are referred by somebody – either because:

  • Something is getting in the way which stops them consistently performing at their best when presenting and communicating.
  • OR – they want the refinements, extra % and immediate ROI in skills which will elevate them to the very top of their game.

How I Work

It’s not enough to have something to say: it’s how to say it. And that’s where an expert external perspective can help.

My work is about delivering techniques that will allow you to demonstrate new – or renewed – presence and influence in your professional and personal brand.

Tools that allow you to feel comfortable in your own skin, AND to comfortably “own the space”.

To be adaptably authentic, regardless of scenario, audience and communication vehicle.

Recent coaching scenario examples:

  • International conferences as keynote speaker.
  • A National Press Club Address in Canberra.
  • Successful school principal and healthcare executive interviews.
  • Working with a group executive on their vocal style.
  • Helping founders of a start-up with their company-wide communication.

:

  • COO of a multinational beverage company.
  • CEO of a major arts organisation
