Executive Communication Masterclass
Acacia Duncan introduces the Executive Communication Masterclass in this short video.
Are you tired of your team members struggling to effectively communicate their insights to different audiences and stakeholders? We can help. Articulation is pleased to introduce our new Executive Communication Masterclass.
The Executive Communication Masterclass is an ideal way for team members to learn how to present their ideas with confidence and impact.
This 8-week program involves both synchronous and asynchronous sessions– from the orientation, where we set the stage, to the culmination at the small group presentation session. The total investment is about 10 hours.
Our masterclass is not just about learning. It’s about transformation. By the end of the program, your team members will have the tools, techniques, and confidence to deliver impactful presentations, no matter the audience or the complexity of their insights.
Learn more about the sessions included in the Executive Communication Masterclass below.
Message Method
Message Method can teach anyone to quickly translate complex ideas and data into compelling content and communicate solutions with confidence and clarity to win support. Our class will teach you to take the guesswork out of wrestling through content to determine what to share with an audience. With that in hand, you will be guided through a process of understanding your audience, the context, and your big idea, and then teach you how to build a case for support with data, stories, and feedback.
- How to create the highest value messages for your audience
- How to increase efficiency in fact and story gathering
- How to eliminate unnecessary work and redundancy
- Building a common platform on which your teams) can organize key communications
- Building confidence in how to create a message that stays on track
Message Method can be facilitated as an in-person, one-day (6 hour) class, or virtually, as two, 2-hour, classes held 7-10 days apart.
Both facilitation options of our Message Method class will have a Message Method Review session(s). This virtual, smaller group, 1.5 to 2-hour class affirms the participants learned the method by applying it to an actual business communication. These Message Method Review sessions are held 10-14 days after the completion of the Message Method class.
Fundamentals Feedback
Within 7-10 days after the 2nd class, participants will apply the fundamentals to a collection of data from their line of business that needs to be delivered to a specific audience. They will share their bottom-line first slide visual and be offered feedback and coaching on their application of the fundamentals.
