Get honest feedback to make real and lasting change

Build credibility, rapport, and connection

Mastering the art of communication to inspire and motivate action isn’t easy and it doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a journey that benefits from someone in your corner, giving you ongoing support and coaching, not only for the big moments but also for the everyday touch-points. In our personalized communications coaching program for leaders, you’ll work one-on-one with a Decker consultant who will hold nothing back so you get just enough tough love—plus a lot of encouragement—to make a pivotal difference.

Ways you’ll grow

Almost immediately, you’ll become aware of your blindspots and notice improvements in the communication skills that define exceptional leaders. And you’ll only get better over time.

Vision

Communicate your vision so that everyone clearly sees the North Star and knows what they need to do to get there. Motivate your team and stakeholders to say, “I’m in! Let’s go!” instead of “Okay…I’ll do it if I have to.”

Leadership & Team Development

Develop communications habits worthy of high-performing leaders and teams. Assess your leadership team’s strengths, spot opportunities for growth, and learn to work together in an inclusive and productive way.

Storytelling

Master the art and science of storytelling to inspire change and encourage can-do thinking instead of have-to mindsets.

Meaningful Conversations

Learn to talk with your teams and clients rather than at them so they feel heard and connected to your goal. And approach tough conversations with confidence.

Presence & Trust

Build an executive presence that lets you shine and learn how to connect and build rapport, establish a strong point of view, and build trusted relationships.

Stakeholder Management

Influence without direct authority (e.g., at board meetings, among your senior-level colleagues, etc.) to persuade and influence.

How it happens

There are two components of our executive coaching program that make it so effective. Combined, they set you up to succeed not only for a specific project, presentation, or pitch but for the long haul.

01.

A comprehensive onboarding program

To help you get the best results, we need to lay the foundation for your success in our Platinum Executive Coaching. What are your communication strengths? What’s holding you back? What feedback have you gotten in the past? Where is there an opportunity to make a real impact? During this intensive session (which also can be split into multiple virtual sessions), we’ll start identifying habits that help or hinder your skills and define ways to make immediate changes.

02.

Continuous development and improvement

Once we’ve laid the foundation, you’ll get a customized plan for achieving continued, repeatable success, to be completed in the timeframe that works best for you. Through ongoing coaching that builds on foundational principles, you’ll learn to ace communications strategies and deliveries that drive initiatives like product launches, strategic shifts, and organizational changes. Whether you need help with crafting an important email, preparing for an all-hands, communicating a major change—or anything in between—your Decker consultant will see you through it.

If you can get better at communication, you build trust faster, you influence the opinion of direction quicker and people are acting towards whatever that outcome is. The Decker advantage is speeding up the organization, which is relevant in any industry. Speed to deliver in cost savings. Speed to deliver in revenue. Speed to deliver in customer satisfaction. Any of that gets improved when you improve the communication tactics of the leaders in the organization.
