Testimonials

As you explain the first slide of your presentation, you hear a buzz off to the side. You continue talking—but the side talk continues. You notice the CFO and CEO are leaning towards each other, rapt in discussion. Is it about your presentation? A previous discussion? Weekend plans? It gets harder and harder to keep focus as you notice other executives watching the conversation. What can you do about this distraction when, as Audrey MacLean, founder of NET and former CEO of Adaptive, says, "You can't shush this audience." Handling the side talk requires both tact and diplomacy.


In this nine-minute module, you will learn what to do when the Big Dogs start having a not-so-silent background discussion while you're trying to make your presentation.

- Avoid direct confrontation
- Politely re-engage side talkers
- Appeal to your sponsor

Do you have a presentation to senior level executives coming up? Whether it’s your first time in that setting or you’re a seasoned veteran, watching Speaking to the Big Dogs 2.0 will give you the skills and insider’s knowledge to be successful. How often do you have the opportunity to pull up a chair to watch and listen to real executives providing guidance? These aren’t actors reading lines from a script about a contrived scenario you are unlikely to experience. Instead, from the sidelines, you’ll watch real CEOs interact with senior vice presidents and directors from Fortune 500 companies while providing straight talk on what they want you to do to get their attention, get a decision made, and get your project approved.
