Charmaine speaks on three core topics: leadership, communication and personal branding. You can read more about each topic below:
Positioning Yourself for Success
To be seen and heard as a leader in today’s complex and fluid organizations executives must listen effectively, communicate strategically and look the part. This session focuses on Charmaine’’s six Executive Success Principles®. Participants will learn how to gain the cooperation of others, deliver information effectively to different audiences and bring teams together to fulfill their mission through six core principles:
- Communicate the vision®
- Speak in headlines®
- The three must-make points®
- Create witnesses®
- Don’t audition for the part®
- Embody your message®
Speak Up. Stand Out. Be Heard!™
Communicating is more than words and phrases. It is the ability to project competence and professionalism; voice opinions confidently; speak up in meetings; move plans and projects forward; and to present ideas ‘up the ladder’ in a way that garners attention and respect.
Whether speaking to managers, employees or large groups, executives need to ensure they are heard, supported, and listened to. In this program, participants learn strategies that are the heart of Charmaine’s Executive Success Principles® as they discover how to:
- Go from invisible to visible
- Communicate both up and down the food chain
- Increase communicative self-awareness
- Build your competence, confidence, and credibility
- Be seen and heard as leaders
Personal Branding: What’s Real, What’s Useful & What’s Neither
‘Image’ and ‘Personal Branding’ have become trendy catch phrases. Skepticism is at least partially deserved; however, these are valid concepts that if properly understood and acted upon will lead to personal and career success.
This program is based in part upon Charmaine’s one-on-one discussions with CEO’s about the critical role that “personal branding” plays in the promotion and derailment of careers. Participants will sort out what’s real in image management from what’s not. Charmaine delivers proven and practical steps to develop authentic personal style and enables executives to be both seen and heard as leaders and recognized for what they do well.
