We help senior executives to create remarkable relationships with their boards.

 

Even for the most senior leaders, the boardroom can be a daunting place. Some of the challenges facing you may include: 
 

• different interests around the board table

• differences of opinion over strategic direction between the board and management

• setting balanced and effective performance measures for management

• over-emphasis on short-term financial performance, to the detriment of customers 

• having limited time to present a complex subject on which you, not the board are the expert

• delivering bad news

• the board delving into issues reserved for management

• anxiety or fear.

  

We help you develop the personal and psychological qualities to build trust and credibility with your board: 
 

• building relationships with individual board members

• confidence, not arrogance

• listening skills

• emotional intelligence

• persuasiveness

• the art of storytelling in a board context

• unselfishness

• honesty

• courage

• pragmatism

• resilience

​

At Communication Counts we offer masterclasses and individual coaching on how to apparoach all these issues, and build a remarkable relationship of trust, credibility and strategic alignment with your board. All our programmes can be tailored to your organisation’s goals and values.
