This fast growing technology client has been promoting technical experts into people manager positions as they rapidly scale. In order to succeed, these new people managers need to improve their confidence and competence to better communicate with their bosses, peers, and direct reports.

Whether you’re preparing the biggest presentation of your life, sending a routine email, facilitating a meeting, giving feedback, or any another type of communication, you must engage your audience or risk ‘failure to communicate.’ We believe the thousands of opportunities to communicate each day all roll up to a master narrative of who we are, our credibility and our integrity.

The highly customized communication essentials training was called Communicating for Impact and focused on helping new people leaders:

Create Goal Clarity
Our organizational alignment research found that strategic clarity accounts for 31% of the difference between high and low performing leaders. Participants learned the importance of setting an intention before every interaction to create clarity, build trust, improve relationships, and get aligned.
Unlock Stakeholder Commitment
Multiple monologues, don’t make a dialogue. New managers learned to connect their audience’s “why” to theirs to create connections by being fully present, listening to learn, and adapting appropriately to each situation.
Design Impactful Ideas
Participants learned that if everything is important, nothing is. They learned best practices approaches and tools to prioritize the what, the so what, and the now what when communicating to different audiences.
Take Decisive Action
Participants learned that hope is not a strategy, luck is not a tactic, and that great doesn’t happen by accident. Good communications happen by design. When putting communications together, they learned how to create compelling headlines and to identify the best communication delivery mechanisms for different audiences.
Deliver Execution Excellence
Because communication intent doesn’t always match impact, and responsibility doesn’t end when you hit “send,” participants learned how to measure success, learn what worked (and didn’t), and to continuously improve their communication style, approach, and content.
