Hold difficult conversations about executive presentation and public speaking early, while they are still small.
Presentation and Public Speaking Skills for Leaders and Senior Officials
A structured, applied course in executive presentation and public speaking — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in executive presentation and public speaking is earned separately. When public speaking is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the organisational leadership discipline and revise it on evidence. Moving executive presentation and public speaking from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The most reliable predictor of sound this aspect of organisational leadership is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme converts public speaking from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about executive presentation and public speaking in their own setting. The level assumes working familiarity with the management team but no prior formal training in public speaking. The final module sets out how progress on this part of organisational leadership will be evidenced six months later.
