Workshop Overview
Leadership presentations inspire the firm and ensure understanding.
Leadership presentations are different from regular presentations. The latter require skills to communicate a message and engage and influence the audience. The Leadership presentation requires these skills and more; to inspire the audience and make them feel positive about the message, whatever the message.
The subject matter can be varied, from describing the future direction of the firm, to explaining potentially bad news. This kind of presentation can explain the detail but it also explores the vision and overall direction of the firm and logic behind this direction
This workshop takes the partner’s skills to a higher level. It is a very practical session where partners bring in actual presentations to practice. They gain feedback on the content and the delivery and receive ideas on how to improve.
