Be heard, be trusted, and be seen as the expert you are

 

The Problem

Directors who present to boards, investors, clients and senior stakeholders face one consistent problem. You know your subject, and the message still doesn’t land. Questions come back, decisions are deferred and good ideas stall. The gap is in the delivery. Most leadership programmes teach strategy and governance. Few teach how to be heard, to be trusted and to be seen as the expert when the stakes are high.

 

The Solution

The Art of Speaking is a two-day, high-stakes communication course for directors, led by Paul Walton and Iain Maclean. It gives you a structured method for the moments that matter:

1. Boardroom and investor communication. Make the case clearly and win backing more consistently.

2. Leading through change. Hold the room in town halls, all-hands meetings and difficult conversations.

3. Reputation and progression. Build the profile that gets you to the next role, whether that is chair, a non-executive seat or the top job.

​​

Sessions are interactive, with real-time feedback, group exercises, techniques to manage nerves and personalised coaching on personal branding and message clarity.

 

What Directors say:

“I can now structure any talk, answer tough questions, and keep my audience with me from start to finish.”
