Executive Communication

Executive Coaching & Assessment Leader/Manager Development Listening Leaders^™ Sustainable Legacies^™

What, when and how to communicate is often left up to chance. Rather than a reactive approach, we work with leaders to view communication as a strategic advantage. Our experts help leaders invest in and value communication as an asset rather than liability. Effective leaders deliver:

Messaging from the listener’s point of view
Clear strategic change messages
Compelling and powerful stories
Proactive and intentional communication

Communicate with Impact

Effective leaders possess at least one communication asset — and most develop two or more. Whether storytelling, clarity, passion, simplicity, authenticity, empathy, responsiveness, executive presence, or charisma, Innolect works with leaders to understand the communication choices they make to create “strategic in the moment” impressions during presentations, meetings, and informal interactions.

Communication 360

Innolect’s proprietary assessment process helps leaders identify and address key targets for improvement in the areas of interpersonal skills, facilitation, and presentation skills. The behavioral assessment and feedback report provides recommendations to enhance or build new communication skills/techniques.
