CEO Hot Seat Training

By the time you reach the CEO role, you’ve likely completed a media training session and handled enough interviews to feel competent, if not exceptional. But as CEO, the most important media interviews are often driven by milestone events that mean your whole day will be focused on communications — with employees, customers and clients, competitors and shareholders.

Whether it’s your quarterly earnings release, a rounds of layoffs, an M&A event, or your first day on the job, consistently delivering your message to all of your stakeholders in the tone and language that each expects is critical to building and maintaining their trust.

The CEO Hot Seat Training session is bespoke to your context and experience level; we get right to the heart of the matter without unnecessary preamble. We use simulations to prepare you for the whole suite of communications that come with the major events in your company’s evolution. You will use the message-delivery techniques honed in this session to consistently tell your story with stronger media interviews, analyst calls, employee town halls, and investor meetings.
