Program Questions, Answered
I analyze your leadership speaking style from every dimension to pinpoint what will make the biggest difference for you immediately. Next step, you learn our proprietary Core Satellite System framework through our e-learning platform. In our next coaching session, we see where you stand. If you need more time with the structure, we lock in those strategic speaking skills.
If you master the framework quickly, we immediately pivot to your specific leadership presence. We fix real-time issues right away. If you experience hesitancies, we focus on tension control and rhythm. If you use upspeak, we work on voice relaxation. If you move too much, we help you gesture more effectively. We build your presence quickly and authentically.
The biggest difference is our deep, two hour assessment. In the first hour, we just talk casually. I ask you questions and stimulate a natural conversation to see your true style, your passion, and your natural flow. I get images of the full range of your natural speaking.
In the second hour, I start recording you, and that is when the pressure changes. Many executives fade when the camera rolls. This two hour assessment gives me a thorough window into who you really are versus how you perform under pressure. From there, we tailor the coaching to get you in the moment. You will learn skills to structure your thoughts, tell your stories, breathe, move, and stay in control. When you are in control, you allow yourself to be yourself.
I coached a Chief Operating Officer who wanted to transition into the CEO role. He possessed good energy but a very flat, predictable delivery. He had never told a personal story to his board. During our first hour of casual conversation, he told me about his love for playing complex Bach inventions on the piano.
We worked on bringing that piano story into his next board presentation. It completely changed the room. It showed the board a fresh, authentic dimension of his leadership. We spent the rest of our sessions polishing stories for every stage of his evaluation, including the informal dinners and final tests, helping him successfully position himself for the top job.
