Client Spotlight

Members of their cybersecurity and IT team are highly skilled, technically proficient individuals who frequently deliver presentations on risk and security to internal and external audiences. Given their expertise, determining the appropriate level of detail can be challenging. At times, this results in providing more technical information than necessary for certain audiences. In addition, their structured approach, while thorough and accurate, can make it challenging to create a lasting connection that resonates with different groups. The client's goal is to support these employees providing them with the training to develop an audience-centered approach and skills to present with impact in any setting.

The Humphrey Group and the client decided Speaking as a Leader® would be the best fit for their needs since this program is centered on helping participants learn to engage audiences and speak with confidence. This program gives participants a framework they can use to plan their communication in advance and ensure messages align with the needs of their audience. Instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach to communications, IT and cybersecurity team members gained tools to help them develop presentations that resonate with their audiences, and deliver with an inspiring presence. Two cohorts of their technology leaders participated in a two-day, in-person version of Speaking as a Leader®.
