EP-6 Presenting with Power: Confident Communications
CE Hours: 1.0 CE hour
Effective communication is a combination of charisma, confidence and authenticity. A leader with strong communication skills makes you want to listen, reflect and take action. However, developing your own executive communication competencies requires not only incorporating techniques, but also knowing who you want to be as a leader and how to get those qualities across to your audiences and stakeholders in a meaningful way. In this session we will discuss the components of confident communications and techniques for strengthening your message.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Identify your executive voice and help you communicate with confidence, from your body language to your ability to think on your feet.
- Tailor your message with examples and proof points that reflect your individual perspective and area of expertise.
- Understand how to utilize tips and techniques to confidently deliver your message to various audiences, from the boardroom to patients to conferences.
