Attention: C-Level Execs and those who aspire to be
If you or someone you know wants to connect powerfully with clients, inspire investors, lead change, motivate employees or influence your industry, then this webinar is for you.
Executive communication ability is the number one skill needed to stay competitive in business today.
In today's low-trust climate, leadership success depends on influencing a wide range of stakeholders by winning their hearts and minds with a compelling story and genuine, from-the-heart dialogue.
In this interactive webinar, Bess Gallanis will explore three trends driving business communications and the techniques that are most effective in today's demanding communication environment:
-
Storytelling and TED: Nowhere is the impact of effective storytelling more evident than the annual TED conference. As the TED brand expands, its impact is driving innovation in business communication. Business conference organizers and corporations are duplicating the TED format -- short, dynamic and entertaining presentations -- forcing executives to learn how to craft and tell a good business yarn.
-
Authenticity is the new cool: In the current cultural and social climate of low trust, stakeholders demand more genuine interaction from their leaders. Executive communicators need to tap their personal experiences to create a connection of trust with skeptical, stressed audiences.
-
Are you ready for your close up? Video is the killer app of executive communications. More than ever before, executives must master the skills of communicating on camera.
What you will learn:
- How to take your presentations from good to great
- What great presenters do before every appearance
- How to talk TED
