We’ve Worked With…
Multinational Company Board Members Case Study
Coaching 2 New Board Members at a Multinational Tech Company in Leadership Communication.
The Problem
Julian had worked on the software tech department and had been promoted to a senior level.
At Senior level Julian was required to present regular board updates to internal and external meetings.
Part of the role involved explaining highly technical projects developed in India to colleagues in Europe and the USA.
Julian had limited previous presenting confidence and experience in this role, leading to significant anxiety and dread ahead of weekly and monthly management meetings.
Coaching Needs
Julian was highly effective in his job role both as a technical expert and manager. However we pinpoint that upward communication to seniors, peers and clients was a major barrier.
To remove this block Julian needed to learn how to present on the spot.
Find ways to think with ease when under pressure and present in a way that would help him feel at ease.
Results
Over a 6 month period Julian undertook 1-1 executive coaching.
We helped develop communication and confidence habits he could practice daily with ease.
It also meant finding easy ways to communicate complex issues especially when presenting to difficult audiences at board level.
Julian was able to find greater connection with his peers in consequent board meetings leading to improved results, interventions and eventually reported marked improvements in project outcomes and sales.
The coaching, feedback, learnings and practices led to much improved personal confidence that impacted his personal and leadership confidence.
CEO Coaching Case Study
Coaching 2 CEOs from a Leading London Property Company in Leadership Communication.
The Problem
Julia has developed a thriving Property development company despite not having the deliver many presentations. However the growth of the company meant being able to get venture capital and investors through pitching at networking events. Neither Julia (CEO) or her business partner had previous experience in this space.
Coaching Needs
During the initial conversation we drilled down to main result Julia needed which was to get across the value to prospective investors that would remove the risk for them and ensure for Julia and her team that they had a a pipeline of clients.
The three main blocks were a compelling structure that could simplify their opportunity. For Julia and her team to feel confident on stage and for them all to really own the space in terms of delivery.
In a way that would allow them to deliver workshops with great ease. Most importantly generate revenue from this activity.
Results
Over a 6 month period Julia and her team worked with our Director team to build communication competence, marketing and sales presentation content and structure
We worked with Director teams and staff teams and showed them step by step how they could do it.
This meant using Speaking Mindset methods to help overcome presenting fear whilst building easy to recall structures for seminars that would allow all staff to feel at ease.
The coaching, feedback, learnings and feedback meant that a lot of time was saved in the normal preparation for such presentations.
And the improved delivery methods meant the talks started to get more results, sign-ups eventually translating to higher levels of revenue for Julia and the company.
By learning new skills not only was their improvements in the client acquisition rates the greatest level of confidence improvement impacted performance of other staff who inspired by the strides made by the Julia as the CEO- creating a culture of growth and results.
