Key Messages for Targeted Audiences

Know what to say, and how, to various stakeholder audiences with confidence and authority

Senior leaders are often called on by their organization’s staff, stakeholders, clients and partners to deliver answers to their questions in a timely, accurate way. Similarly, senior leaders often have important messages to deliver to their audiences, aimed at receiving a specific result. This course, geared to key organizational decision-makers (senior management, executives, board members), gives practical advice on sharing information to various audiences in a message driven way.

Delivered one-on-one or in a group setting, our Key Messages for Targeted Audiences training course includes instruction on deciding what information can be shared with what audience, crafting key messages that get to the heart of the issue, and practice delivering those messages with authority.
