Executive Coaching
Every time you communicate about yourself, your
company, your products and services what you say and how you say it
is critical to raising your profile, gaining trust, winning and
maintaining business.
Your audience will assess your credibility by the quality of
your presentation or pitch. You want them to walk away remembering
and wanting to act on the messages you deliver.
Maryanne Johnston can help you to prepare those messages so that
they are interesting and memorable to each audience. I'll help you
to structure your content, build up the script/notes, incorporate
visual aids so they add value, rather than distract the audience,
and handle questions.
I'll also make sure you deliver your presentation with
confidence, so you come across relaxed and natural, using your
individual style.
I can help with the following:
- Investor Presentations
- Results Presentations
- Product Launches
- Company Conferences
- Board Meetings
1-1 private meetings offer flexibility to concentrate on your
personal needs and are designed to be time efficient so that you
spend less time away from your desk.
Meetings are highly interactive, with a balance of theory and
practice using video playback.
Case Study: Talent Development - Skills for Leadership and
Promotion for Tiso Group
Tiso Group are a major Scottish outdoor clothing and equipment
retailer.
I was asked to put together a programme for the Executive team
as well as for Managers moving towards promotion in the
organisation who needed to enhance their communication (spoken and
written) and persuasion skills. Everyone was put through a 1-1
coaching programme of 6 sessions. The result was that everyone
involved was better equipped to handle more formal meetings and
presentations, with more gravitas, confidence and much more
effective preparation and use of visuals.
Key benefits of 1-1 sessions:
- Most effective for long term learning and development
- Sessions are tailored to individual's requirements
- Upcoming meetings/presentations can be worked on during
sessions
- Shorter periods away from desks
For those heading for a promotion, the programme was the tipping
point. They moved into their new roles and gained a huge amount of
confidence from the programme as they took on more stressful
communication challenges. Written communication became clearer and
more concise for board reports and emails too.
