Win Your High Stakes Moments.

We help CEO’s, executives and leadership teams cultivate the most important leadership competency for the new era of business.

The Presentation Mastery Imperative

PERSUASIVE COMMUNICATION, INFLUENCE, STORYTELLING AND PRESENTATION SKILLS ARE THE MOST CRITICAL - YET UNDERDEVELOPED - LEADERSHIP CAPABILITY IN BUSINESS TODAY.

In an era of volatility where EQ beats IQ, effective communication is the unlock for competitive advantage and career growth. Yet too many leaders find themselves unprepared, or simply underdeveloped, to shine in high stakes moments…

  • The big presentation at a company event

  • Making a convincing case to the board

  • Influencing a key client to choose you over the competition

  • Inspiring people to action in a small team meeting

Whether from a large stage or in a small conference room, an influential message is the skillset required to drive alignment, engagement and results.

Persuasive Communication Accelerates Outcomes.

THE CRITICAL SKILLS OF THE MODERN LEADER

  • A master in the art of storytelling

  • Prepared to influence in any high-stakes moment

  • The ability to present ideas with confidence and imbue confidence in others

  • Emotionally resonant, authentic and influential

  • Communicates with clarity and consistency to create alignment and buy-in

  • Increases trust and psychological safety

  • Understands the framework for an inspiring message, regardless of audience size

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In 2024, The Academy takes place in Detroit in June and September. These programs consist of a best-in-class agenda with multiple companies present. The Boost and Elevate & Amplify Programs are hand-built for your organization and occur virtually, at your offices, or any other location that works best for you.

  • The ImpactEleven team delivers immersive and interactive sessions to help leaders learn the art and science of high performance communication. These are NOT simple “tips and tricks” to be a better presenter. Rather, we will transform you and your team’s skills so that you can motivate your employees, inspire your customers, and put your career on a new trajectory. An online course can’t do that.

  • Both :-). Clients work with us for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common include:

    1. Individual executives who want to level up their speaking skills and influence;

    2. Teams of people who are preparing for an important company event;

    3. As a standard learning and development program for high potential employees or new leadership hires.

  • Pricing varies depending on the type of program we design together, but here are some ballpark numbers:

    • The Academy: Individual Tickets are $4,950/person. Groups of 3 or more are $3,750/person. Groups of 10+ contact us for pricing.

    • Custom/Private Coaching: Investment varies but is typically in the range of $20,000 to $80,000, plus options for ongoing coaching and development work.

  • We define a “big stage” as any high impact moment where your communication skills are the difference-maker between capitalizing on opportunities for change and growth, or completely missing the mark. This may manifest on stage in front of thousands of people, at a fundraising meeting with a group of four investors, in front of your five-person board of directors, in a conference room with your 15 direct reports, or even in one-on-one conversations with key clients. Communicating with confidence and clarity moves people to action, generates support for your ideas, and advances your career to the very highest levels.
