Leader as Communicator is a three-day leadership workshop that examines the vital role communication plays in organizational and individual success. The ability to effectively communicate ideas and vision, build strong teams and ensure buy-in and support, can significantly impact a leader’s success. Clearly hearing the ideas of those with whom they work is also a key success factor. The focus of this workshop is on specific concepts, skills and tools for effective communications in a leadership role.

Participants will learn to:

• Listen more effectively
• Sharpen their ability to speak so others will listen
• Create and articulate their own message of leadership
• Organize, prepare and deliver high impact professional presentations
• Give and receive effective feedback
• Engage in “skillful discussion”; the ability to advocate for a particular position while being open to the ideas of others
• Gain techniques to thrive in impromptu speaking opportunities
• Enhance the look, feel and results of increased confidence and how that impacts their success as leaders

Leader as Communicator is appropriate for both new and experienced leaders. New leaders can use it to help establish themselves as confident, effective communicators. For more experienced leaders, it will serve to reinforce the things that have worked for them in the past, and help them see how the way they communicate serves to support or undermine their message of leadership.

What Makes CI Leadership Training Unique
CI leadership training creates an open, safe learning environment. Participants are fully engaged in learning. Our role is to facilitate the collective wisdom in the room so that participants learn as much as possible from each other as well as from leadership experts. CI senior facilitators utilize leading edge communication skills such as skillful discussion and coaching techniques, to guide leaders to better understanding of themselves and their leadership challenges.
