Attendees will learn how to communicate effectively with busy executives by using concise, focused and effective storytelling skills. 

The ability to influence executives is a must-have skill for HR leaders who want to unlock potential in the workforces they serve. Even the best transformational ideas fail if they aren’t presented effectively to key leaders and stakeholders. This interactive professional development session will fundamentally change how you communicate when there is a need to be heard and to influence action when sharing ideas, recommendations and points of view. In this working session, you will learn and apply a globally proven, easy-to-use communication framework that enables you to deeply, yet quickly, think through a compelling rationale for what you need to say and why. This story-driven approach empowers you to succinctly connect the value in your ideas to the issues that decision-makers care about in about two minutes or less.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discover how business executives prefer to receive recommendations and ideas.
  • Learn how to prepare for the unique challenges of communicating HR recommendations to executives in high-stakes situations.
  • Learn how to get executive and stakeholder buy-in through the use of an intuitive, globally proven communication tool.
  • Think and then speak with greater ease, clarity, credibility and impact.
  • Influence business executives to make better talent decisions and focus on the right things.
