Businesswoman leading meeting

Why this program?

The ability to speak with clarity, conviction and influence is critical to leadership. To be truly effective, leaders must be able to inspire action every time they speak - from formal and informal presentations to conference calls, one-on-one conversations, impromptu discussions and Q&A sessions.

You will explore a communications approach that will enable you to present your ideas so that others are inspired to act on them. Working with an experienced communication coach from The Humphrey Group, you will be guided to speak with a clear message, persuasive structure, and compelling language.
