Executive presence & driving change,
International payments company
The Challenge
With a potential IPO on the horizon, an international payments company needed to fast track rapid technological change within the business, whilst ensuring that their employees continued to feel valued.
As part of their ongoing talent management strategy, the Head of Talent’s brief was to empower 120 technical employees to inspire change by developing their leadership communication skills.
One such employee was a Senior Manager, who regularly had to present to either a senior audience or highly technical audience, and he was unhappy with the response he was receiving.
The Solution
Black Isle Group designed the Driving Change & Executive Presence modules to specifically help the Senior Leadership and these modules were implemented as group workshops and one to one sessions throughout the UK.
The first thing that the Black Isle Group Executive Presence course did was to help the Senior Manager realise that he needed to change what he was doing himself before he could change others.
He knew the core of his message but was struggling to keep it succinct and effective, which meant breaking it down to capture hearts and minds was proving a challenge.
