Articulate Persuasion is a Leadership and Presentation Development Firm singularly focused on cultivating influential and persuasive leaders through communication. Coaching - Everyone wants to build credibility and increase influence. They rarely realize the only way to do this is through communication – both verbal and non-verbal. Our proven methodology improves communication, strengthens speaking and presentation skills creating an authentic and compelling executive presence. Practicing Present Coaching allows for an overall action plan and goals but adapts to each client’s unique needs. Consulting - Communication is the life blood of any organization. The challenges organizations face require a broad yet still customized solution. We work with companies to develop programs to help them achieve their short and long term strategic goals. Women’s Leadership Development - Developing and leading a Women’s Leadership Program is challenging. We meet with stakeholders to assess and define goals and metrics. We then develop a customized program with assessments, detailed curriculum, coordinate program modules and speakers, facilitate discussions and evaluate final metrics. Brand Articulation - How the leaders and employees of an organization articulate the vision and value can affect the ability to close a sale, retain a client even build the brand. Often if you speak to any cross-section of an organization’s workers, even the leadership team, the message they deliver is rarely the same. How do you build your brand or business if others are not clear what you stand for? We help individuals deliver clear, unified and compelling elevator and sales pitches through video evaluation and addressing both verbal and non-verbal challenges. M&A Integration - When companies merge we work with organizations to craft the language of the new organization, assuring that everyone is on the same page, expectations are clear and the new strategies are implemented.
