    • Redirect unwanted work
    • Network internally (with people who are well-respected and well-connected)

Communicate for Impact

Business is, and always will be, a personal thing. In today’s global economy, it’s not the smartest, hardest working or most technically savvy who succeed. Instead, it’s the people with honed communication skills. Those who communicate strategically, effectively, and persuasively– no matter the situation. We teach you to do just that by taking the art of communicating strategically and effectively and turning it into a science—providing a roadmap to help you master the daily conversations so critical to success (but not taught).

Perfect Your Pitch

How do you make a powerful impression you when you walk in the door— whether you’re introducing yourself to a new client, kicking off an important meeting, posting your boss on a transaction, or getting buy in for a new initiative? Pitching is a universal skill, and it’s not just for the career changer or job candidate. Whether you’re pitching an idea, a project, or yourself—you’ve got a tight window to “hook” your listener and pique their curiosity. But most of us stumble when the moment strikes.

This high impact workshop will give you a foolproof three-step strategy for pitching yourself in an authentic and compelling way:

Key Takeaways include:

• Destination
• Back Story

Network like a Pro

Networking get a bad rap—but the data shows that robust networks strongly correlate to better performance at work, new opportunities and more rapid promotion. This workshop will empower you with strategies to develop your connections, build meaningful relationships across the firm, and leverage your network to create career opportunities.

Key Takeaways include:

The three biggest myths:

  • It’s about giving, not taking
  • It’s about connecting, not impressing
  • It’s about curating, not collecting
  • Break into and exit conversations gracefully
