Now launching the latest master class for business leadership groups...

Equip each of your members to:

BECOME AN INSPIRATIONAL BUSINESS COMMUNICATOR

Your members make a lot of decisions – hopefully mostly good ones.

But how well do they communicate these decisions inside and outside their companies?

Extensive research with chairmen of business leadership groups about the communications skills of their members shows there’s considerable scope for them to do it better.

Sometimes hugely better.

One group leader who took part in the design-the-session survey rated some of his members’ skills at communicating with the public as low as 3 out of 10.

The new master class session - “Becoming An Inspirational Business Communicator” – has been formulated as a result of this research.

YOUR MEMBERS’ IMMEDIATE TAKEAWAYS

Business leaders taking part in this half-day session will get the following takeaways they can put into practice immediately:

# Getting into the minds’ of their audiences so they can connect more effectively with their targets

# Choosing the best channel of communication for the right situation

# Formulating the most appropriate messages for each audience – and summing them up more powerfully, clearly and succinctly

# Communicating more effectively on the most difficult issues which tend to find their way to the leader's desk

# Getting the follow-up right so they can tell if their message has been understood and acted upon in the way they meant it.


CONNECTING WITH THOSE VITAL AUDIENCES

Michael Dodd's new master class will boost your members’ powers of communication in dealings with their customers, their prospects, their suppliers, their staff and the public at large.

It will also help with the bank manager – and their company’s bottom line.

"Becoming An Inspirational Business Communicator" takes a learning-by-doing-and-reviewing approach.

It deals with the spoken word – and the written word.

“Becoming An Inspirational Business Communicator” has been formulated after hundreds of interactions and workshops with business leaders over the past three years.

Here’s what business leaders have said about Michael’s master classes so far.

"Michael is one of the newest and best speakers we have ever had in the Academy in the last 13 years. He puts an enormous amount of effort into the preparation and the final delivery is nothing short of brilliant. The workshop is compelling, engaging, entertaining and a must for any CEO in today’s world. Michael’s skill and experience as a journalist is brought to bear in ruthless fashion creating an unforgettable experiential learning experience." Simon Lester, Chairman, Academy for Chief Executives Group 7

“We were looking for someone to wow our audience of MDs and chief executives - somebody with a rare combination of being challenging whilst not pushing it too far.  Michael Dodd turned out to be just that man - challenging the executives where required, pushing them out of their comfort zone in a controlled way, then bringing them back again.” Tim Hawkes, Managing Director, Unlimited Potential

“Michael has worked with two of my groups of business leaders and they have all really appreciated the coaching he’s provided. It’s been amazing to see the improvement they’ve made.” Mike Wilsher, Managing Director, Executive Foundation

"Michael presented an excellent session for the Managing Directors in MD2MD. The feedback from the members was excellent. He clearly and measurably improved their confidence in handling tough questions from the media and elsewhere." Bob Bradley, Chairman, MD2MD

"Michael's preparation was flawless and enabled him to take everybody out of their comfort zone and put them under pressure, but in a safe environment. They all agreed it was uncomfortable, but highly valuable, and they have requested him back for a further session. Great fun, highly demanding and valuable for business leaders. I have booked him for my other two Vistage groups later this year." Alan Cook, Chairman, Vistage Groups 47, 3 and Key 205

“As well as being highly constructive, Michael’s presentation at our recent Executives’ workshop enabled members to deal with difficult questions in a session which was lively, entertaining and fun.   We very much look forward to having him back to work with our other Leaders’ Groups.” Chris Chater, Joint Chairman, Business Leaders Group

Michael Dodd has taught communications skills on six continents.

He’s the winner Academy for Chief Executives latest New Speaker Of The Year award.

Michael can equip your members to get their message across in a way that's better than they’ve ever done before.

Give your members the chance to supercharge their communication skills - in a way they can put into practice day after day, week after week, year after year.
