Undeniably most Senior Leaders and Subject Matter Experts are intelligent and experienced. However, all strong leaders and brilliant subject matter experts are not strong speakers, but they could be. Leaders influence their employees and audiences by communicating their Vision, Values and Strategy. This is accomplished through conversation, discussion, and presentation with Executive Teams, via Town Hall Meetings, Corporate Videos and Conference Keynotes.
Whether their remarks are short, such as introducing the recipient of an award, or longer, as in being the keynote speaker at a Fund-raising event, the audience wants people at the top to showcase their knowledge and communicate it well. Business-savvy executives and cutting edge scientists who are dynamic communicators rally individuals to follow their lead. If you are an executive whose communication is not what you want it to be, consider some executive speech coaching.
