Strategic Communications Support to
CEOs + EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Driving High Performance - from Vision and Strategy to Culture and Behaviors
As a CEO, how you communicate to your employees, clients and shareholders, as well as your board and direct reports, is the single greatest driver of your success.
Sometimes those moments and messages require an outside perspective – different from, but complementary to, those provided by your in-house corporate communications, PR and marketing teams. Working together intimately on a confidential basis – or collaboratively with your inner executive circle or corporate communications team – we can weave a powerful tapestry of messaging that reflects your most critical business, strategy and people objectives.

Vision, Mission and Principles
Collaboration, as a small team of two or a broader team including all your employees, in identifying a powerful set of communication elements that reflect your organization’s purpose, core beliefs and aspirational objectives.
Business Strategy
Development of multiple communication deliverables supporting the articulation of a business strategy – and how the “story” of the strategy is shared with various internal audiences to inform and inspire them.
