Leadership Communication
Certificate Program

Communication has power. Effective leadership communication creates competitive advantage for individuals, teams, and enterprises.

There is a rigor to effective leadership communication. However, too often that rigor is not well known or is ignored by executives who believe that communication at work is equivalent to personal communication, at which most people are proficient. As a result, executives often communicate in ways that not only fail to advance their business aims, but that can lead to a loss of competitive position and little return on the investment of human and other resources.

Our Leadership Communication Certificate Program is designed to enhance an executive’s ability to communicate effectively in the workplace. Our work with executives creates a mindset, instructs on techniques, and provides tools for effective planning, creation, and execution of communication with impact.
