How Leaders Speak

You know the essential role supply chain and logistics plays within every company. But how can you make your CEO - the person responsible for allocating resources - better appreciate the importance of supply chain within the organization?

While most of us rarely have the opportunity to speak directly to the CEO, what you say to your manager, and subsequently what they say to their superiors, does work its way through the corporate hierarchy. If you want to have a say in your future and the future of your department, it’s time to learn how to choose and use the right words.

In How Leaders Speak, delegates will learn:

the seven powerful keys that leaders use to engage and influence their audiences
how to create and maintain a dynamic, authoritative presence - and how to look and move like a leader
practical, hands-on coaching from two of North America’s leading presentation skills coaches
how to organize speeches and presentations quickly and efficiently for maximum impact
how to overcome nervousness and communicate with confidence, like a ‘natural’
how to ‘hook’ even challenging listeners from the outset
how to employ PowerPoint like leaders do
how to wrap-up smoothly and deliver a strong, effective ‘call to action’

It starts with learning how to speak the language executives speak and improving your presentation skills. Whether you consider yourself a novice or accomplished speaker, you will learn how to better engage your audience and convey a commanding presence in order to realize your professional goals.

This session is hosted by Jim Gray, Principal of Media Strategy, and by Mary Civiello, president of Civiello Communications Group.

Mr. Gray is a leading North American media strategist and communication skills coach. For 15 years, he has helped plan and implement sharp, productive communication strategies for organizations across a range of sectors.

This learning session is presented in partnership with the Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council.
