C-Level Communications ^SM

Presenting to senior leaders and people of influence is simply not the same as presenting to your technical peers—the rules and expectations are entirely different. To be effective with this audience and in this environment, a unique set of skills and strategies are required. C-Level Communications ^SM examines how you influence others up the organization, with emphasis on designing and making persuasive presentations—both formal and impromptu.

This hands-on workshop takes an action-learning approach by providing realistic opportunities to practice your presentation and receive feedback from your colleagues.
