About
Artistry in Communication
We specialize in helping senior executives hone their leadership messages, fundraising pitches and investor meeting presentations. We work with our clients on all aspects of Executive Presence and Gravitas.
We help our clients achieve clarity and conciseness in messaging, and boost rapport during their in-person and virtual interactions. Whether presenting, selling or negotiating, we help individuals increase their impact and tell a memorable story.
The Coach Foundation has identified Cathy as one of the premier Communication Coach in the industry.
Leadership Development
In the zeal to provide beautifully branded messages many people have become too intent on the specific words to the detriment of their personalities, their emotions and the basic rules of conversation.
Paramount to the effectiveness of any communicator is his or her ability to create and maintain charisma, character, and clarity. These can all be enhanced through work on delivery skills including movement, eye contact, gestures and voice.
Business leaders know they must interact with the world by email, telephone, video-conferencing and the written word. They must do all this seamlessly while maintaining their authenticity and individual style.
- For your Clients: Do they understand how your partnership benefits them; and how you are differentiated from other firms?
- For your Peers: Do they see you as a leader in the field?
- For your Colleagues and Employees: Do they understand the critical mission of your firm and your common goals?
- For your Prospects: Are you conversing effectively rather than relying heavily on a pitch book?
