Need your exec's communications skills vetted?

We are in full fall conference season now! Communications professionals: are your execs ready?

Your CEO is convinced that she can handle Squawk Box. But you’ve got to battle test her, because failure is not an option.

Several reporters have lobbed-in interview requests for your new CTO, but you can’t find any prior interviews that he’s done. Is it safe to put him out there?

Your VP of Product keeps pinging you to be on podcasts. But what might he say? And why is he so eager?

After a couple of hours with me, your CEO will have a much finer appreciation of how hard a broadcast interview can be. She’ll realize that she MUST read her briefing sheet and learn her soundbites! She’ll better understand what you do and why your counsel is essential to her success.

After I take your CTO and VP of Product through some tough Q&A, you’ll have a much clearer sense of whether it’s safe to have them engage with media and podcasters.

YOU are responsible for the company’s reputation. Sometimes you need help to whip your leaders into shape so that they ADD rather than detract from the company reputation you work so hard to protect.

Wouldn’t it be a relief to have an outside expert reinforcing your counsel as you nudge your leaders toward communicating to achieve rather than undermining the company’s objectives? That’s exactly what I do!

If you need to vet eager or recalcitrant executives so that you can build your company’s reputation through them, I’d love to help! You know where to find me . . .
