COMMUNICATION ESSENTIALS LEARNING PATH
Modules 1 - 4 are available for all cohorts.
Specifications: Individual modules are available virtually in 1 or 2 hour segments. The entire learning path is available in a 1/2 day or full-day in-person setting.

ENGAGING MEETINGS
Effective conversations and meetings are the sum of many different elements. Others easily lose interest if meetings are monotonous and predictable. We’ll cover the ingredients necessary to engage the audience, reduce anxiety, and make a huge impact.
2
CONCISE MEMORABLE STORIES
Participants learn and practice a storytelling framework that makes their stories and presentations memorable. This structure (3 Act Storytelling Framework) improves attention span, interpersonal connection, and message memorability.

EXECUTIVE PRESENCE
Weak language and uncontrolled hand gestures hurt our credibility and diminish our message. Learn techniques that will immediately improve your gravitas, reduce "filler words" and harmonize the gestures used while speaking.
4
ACTIVE LISTENING
AND DIVERSE IDEAS
Use active listening skills to better understand differing opinions and diverse ideas while helping others to feel that they’re being heard. This is the foundation of trust and moving ideas forward together.

The best leaders are great listeners. Create an atmosphere of innovation, empathy, and a better understanding of differing ideas. Helping others to feel that they’re being heard is paramount for effective leaders.
5
RENEGOTIATING NO
How you say "NO"as a leader will either create resentment, crush morale, or lead to collaboration and a solution. Burst’s AVR Technique (Ask / Verify / Renegotiate) will motivate and establish a collaborative atmosphere.
6
DIAMOND PRESENTATION STRUCTURE
A logical presentation maintains your team's attention and effectively delivers key takeaways. The Burst Diamond provides a framework for delivering a powerful presentation that builds to a solution.

EFFECTIVE WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
Clear and concise emails and reports exude executive writing skills and improve gravitas. Especially when delivered to senior executives and C-Suite members that have limited time to "hunt" for the answer.
8
LEAD PRESENTATION BUILDER
Senior executives often don't have the patience to sit through long presentations packed with data. Get to the point, provide memorable options, and wrap your presentation up with data in 6 to 10 slides.
