Join IABC/BC’s upcoming Senior Communicators Special Interest Group (SIG) virtual session, this time with a focus on building trust with your executive team. The Senior Communicators SIG offers seasoned professionals — those with 15+ years’ experience—an opportunity to exchange ideas in a supportive, informal environment.
Our executive needs the unique role of communicators to achieve clarity, alignment, trust, and connection. As a senior communicator, we can be their trusted advisors. Advisors enhance the effectiveness of our executives to lead. As advisors, we need to hold a unique combination of experience, empathy, knowledge, and skill. With our support, executives can elevate connections, understanding, and influence through their leadership.
In this SIG conversation, we will unearth how we engage our executives to increase their ability to communicate and influence. This session will be facilitated by:
