Leaders Know How to Sell Ideas

Whether giving speeches, presentations or just speaking in more informal settings, they deliver ideas in a way that connects, persuades, and inspires confidence.

Speechworks Executive Coaching focuses on learning how to do three things well: organizing simple, persuasive messages, answering questions in a way that inspires confidence, and delivering messages in an authentic style that builds relationships.

Our approach combines identification of goals, on-camera coaching, and feedback from coaches and colleagues.

• Part I: Identification of Goals and Support Network
  Do you want to learn how to give great presentations? Do you want to learn how to sound confident in meetings? Do you want to learn how to motivate colleagues? During our first session, we will clarify what the executive wants to accomplish. Support from colleagues is critical. During our first session, we also will identify a support network. The coach works with these colleagues
• Part II: Coaching Sessions
  Executives work with a coach to learn how to create effective messages, answer questions, and develop an authentic communication style. In a series of private coaching sessions, participants will create and deliver presentations and role-play meetings. Participants are video-recorded and receive coaching to improve their style. Typically, we meet two to four times for no longer than three hours. Outside of Atlanta, we compress this schedule.
• Part III: Practice, Feedback and Support
  Executives practice what they have learned, setting goals for specific opportunities. Executives obtain feedback from colleagues on their communication skills sessions. Executives are encouraged to contact Speechworks coaches to strategize on specific opportunities.
• Part IV: Final Reinforcement
  To reinforce the skills, we encourage executives return to Speechworks for a session to demonstrate mastery.
