Focus on Delivery

Confidence

To be more motivated or even inspired, an audience draws energy from the confidence projected by the leader.  Yet many of the communication challenges facing leaders remove them from their comfort zone, forcing them to confront situations that undermine their sense of control, trigger discomfort and result in compromised leadership presence.

As unpleasant as this fear-based anxiety may be, it is normal.  To enhance comfort level, we assist leaders in:

	demystifying the fear-inducing aspects of the presentation or media appearance;
	perceiving the engagement less as a risk and more as an opportunity to advance the organization’s objectives;
	achieving an optimal sense of ownership and authenticity by selecting ideas, phrases and modes of delivery compatible with his or her style.

We have developed two proprietary methods to strengthen the leader’s confidence and comfort level:

	The Communication Anxiety Survey probes and assigns relative degrees of importance to 32 factors that influence comfort.
	The Comfort Level Enhancement Plan highlights the connection between various preparation techniques (e.g., organization, phrasing, use of visual aids, practice methods and increased comfort).

Our Focus on Delivery... The 3 Vs

Our counsel focuses on both message and delivery and is based on our proprietary method, the “3Vs”, an approach that systematically addresses the Verbal, Vocal and Visual dimensions of communication. This sequential method helps the communicator focus on the nuances of each dimension and hone skills conducive to confidence and greater leadership impact.
