In the past 15 years, executive communications has emerged as a discipline within corporate communications.
The executive communications role involves developing the communications platform, strategy, messaging and brand on behalf of an executive in support of his or her leadership, influence and results.
Effective executive communications enables executives to get their ideas across to one of their most important audiences – their employees.
A company executive who masters the science of public speaking – to their employees and others – can become a more powerful, successful leader.
