COMMUNICATION COACHING
Learn to communicate with skill. Build a more engaged organization. Speak with authority to any audience.
Our executive communication coaching services equip leaders with the skills to listen intensely and speak with impact so they can build credibility and inspire change. We begin by helping them understand their audience and define the outcomes they want to produce. Then we partner with them—from idea to delivery—helping them design both what they will say and how they will say it.
At Sierra Leadership, we help clients amplify their authentic voice so they can move the hearts and minds of their stakeholders, while managing the pressure of the spotlight. Below are a few examples of our communication coaching engagements:
- CEOs and executives speaking before heads of state, global media, investors, Harvard Business School faculty, and all-hands meetings of 100,000+ employees.
- Teams of pharmaceutical executives presenting new drugs before public FDA hearings, with billions of dollars at stake.
- Senior leaders preparing for pivotal conversations with their boards, leadership teams, and other high-value stakeholders.
Eric’s coaching was incredibly helpful to me at two key moments in my life. Professionally, he equipped me and my team to communicate successfully in an unusually high stakes environment, giving us both the skills and confidence to succeed. Personally, he brought a well of calm and caring to one of the most challenging periods of my life. What’s special about Eric is the depth of skill and understanding he brings to both executive leadership issues, and personal ones.
