Executive Speech Coaching
Remember the song Dirty Laundry by Don Henley?
“I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry”
Many of the CEOs that we coach feel they are more susceptible than ever to a press looking for Dirty Laundry! As a matter of fact, the fastest growing aspect of our business is Executive Speech Coaching-learning to verbal banter with the press!
Today, it’s not enough to be a great business leader with solid business skills-the new requirements include being extremely articulate and the ability to banter with the press and come away looking like a great person! If you are the CEO of a public company you know full well the pitfalls of not being honest in your assessment of your company’s prospects-that is what Ken Lay got nailed on. 
The skill today is to be honest and yet not disclose proprietary or inside information.
Henley went on to say:
“We got the bubble-headed bleach blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry”
As a CEO you may feel that the bubble-headed-bleach blonde is growing exponentially-there is a microphone everywhere, recording your every comment! Our Executive Speech coaching includes not only the basics of allowing you to make fabulous presentations but how to use humor to “dance with the press.” When you receive Executive Speech Coaching from us you will receive utter discretion and some of the best training available.
If you feel that Henley is referring to you when he says:
“kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Give us dirty laundry”
Give us a call and we can share with you all of our Executive Speech Training specifics as well as referrals!
