About this listen

A key form of professional influence is speaking up, and being heard, in meetings with senior leaders. That might be really daunting, or, you’ve struggled with knowing saying the right things to get people nodding in understanding.

Having been in this situation myself, and then sitting in senior leadership roles, I’ve seen and worked through these communication challenges from all angles, and I’m sharing my top tips for being heard in meetings with senior leaders.

Listen in to hear:

  • What senior leaders REALLY need when they’re receiving information by firehose from multiple sources

  • How to summarise your details into top-level information that adds value

  • Why focussing on the essence of what you want to say, rather than your words, will save you

  • Why getting upset that someone else repeats our idea and gets the credit is NOT necessarily a bad thing (even if it’s frustrating)

  • How to be seen as a meaningful contributor, and not just adding more noise
