2013 Resolutions for Executives

This year resolve to:

1.    Get in Shape – Get your messages clear and master your delivery. Clear, confidently delivered messages are reassuring and help people to act.

2.    Lose Weight – Focus on the messages and goals that matter most. Less is more

3.    Stick to a Budget – Keep your communications short and provide ample time for questions. Give your team time to express themselves. Feeling heard matters to everyone.

4.    Get Organized – Prepare. Organize your thoughts in advance. Be ready to handle the tough questions.

5.    Find a Better Job – There’s no better job than one you do well. Communicate what you do well. Develop your personal elevator pitch. Then seek opportunities that align to your strengths.

Use communications to make 2013 a banner year for you and your team! If you’d like to supercharge your communications skills, we can help.  We offer private one-to-one coaching in our Executive Presence program as well as group training  in our popular seminar, Speaking for Impact, available as a private program or in a public seminar offered in cities around the country. We’d be delighted to work with you or your team.
