When C-Suite communicate, they need to send a message that is:

Simple
Impactful
Emotional
Resilient
Relateable
Actionable 
Motivating
Strategic
Risk-free
Scalable
Transferable

Most verbal communication, a presentation, a pitch, and public speaking are none of the above.

Yet, when leaders communicate with a combination 
visual + verbal.

The complex becomes simple without losing its power.



If you support your C-Suite with their public speaking. And your goal is to save time and increase impact, let's have a call.


I can share how I supported the C-Suite at 2 of the 3 BIG German car brands, 2 of the major luxury fashion brands and one of the BIG social media platforms.

Is public speaking part of your BD strategy? I will make sure you are the best speaker at the event 🐊 More influence = more opportunities = more revenue 🤼‍♀️ Intentional communication 🐊 Certified Crocodile Wrestler

The CEO walked into the meeting room and stopped at the doorway.

He looked surprised

"This looks...different," he said.

He walked over to the whiteboard covered with bits of paper.

20 minutes before, I printed out six pages of the first version of his script. 

I cut out the paragraphs and shuffled them like a magician doing a magic trick. 

I then stuck them to the whiteboard.

He was now reading some of them out.

"I like this", he repeated. "I like this a lot."

Within a few minutes, he had 8-10 paper strips in his hand.

We sat down, and I made a new document.

I copied and pasted the sections he had selected into a second script version.

We then made this version 02 script flow in his words. 

In less than 30 minutes, we were done.

He leaned back and read the script out.

He smiled, satisfied.

"Email me a copy." 

He stood and headed to the door.

He paused on the way out, turned and said, "This was good; I've never worked like this before. Nice job"
