Communications skills for emerging leaders

“Communication is the most important skill any leader can possess.” - Sir Richard Branson

What makes an outstanding executive? The Wharton School of Business identifies a variety of leadership qualities it likes to foster in its candidates - from subject matter expertise, to change management skills, to strategic thinking and foresight. But in the current age, none of these attributes is more critical - or offers the opportunity to set an executive apart from the pack - than first rate communication and persuasion skills.

Dunlop Media’s Executive Communications Leadership program is focused exclusively on developing this specific type of superior talent. We offer tools and methods for executives to confidently articulate their courses of action, especially in a variety of internal and external settings where challenges and pushback are likely.

Our program is designed to teach:

o A strategy for converting written business messages into a spoken narrative, which carries more cognitive resonance than messages alone

o the ability to confidently handle questions and answers around, and outside, that narrative

o physical components of effective communication, such as energy level and body language

o principles for internal and external communication in a crisis

Participants learn how to:

o Efficiently condense long and sometimes complicated information

o Concisely communicate this information as simple narratives with a key request/action/risk

o Feel more confident conveying this information externally or internally

The Executive Communications Leadership program is offered in a personalized, in-house setting, tailored to the needs of your organization and of each participant. Because of its intensive nature, availability is limited.
