MAXIMUM IMPACT COACHING
with
"All leaders are
communicators and many are highly skilled but every leader can benefit from the
insights and observations of an experienced and impartial communications
coach". |
William Ayot's highly intensive and
focused form of personal impact coaching is specifically tailored for those
leaders who are facing important challenges in communications, such as
set-piece presentations, key-note speeches, conference appearances and crucial
meetings. It is also particularly useful for those who are taking up new posts
and/or stepping into greater, more public roles. As a poet, dramatist,
speechwriter and broadly experienced key-note speaker, William has explored the
subject of communications and performance from a unique and powerful
perspective. His insight and pin-point focus have helped innumerable leaders,
to increase their personal impact and maximize their effectiveness in
communications of all kinds.
"Experienced
leaders can feel as much doubt and uncertainty as anyone else.
In my
coaching sessions I aim to find the block and address it.
That way,
working together, we can remove that niggling voice of doubt". |
Having worked intensively with the CEOs
of global corporations, high ranking civil servants, senior clerics and
entrepreneurs around the world, William has evolved an agreeable yet incisive
way of dealing with client's various needs. Sessions can take the form of
rehearsals, run-throughs or one-on-one workshops. Techniques for relaxation are
explored, and practical steps taken towards greater presence, authenticity, and
specific audience connection.
"Sometimes it's
as simple as a slight change of emphasis or style in the moment. What we need
is the ability to spot the moment and then move to the appropriate style with
conscious ease. At that point we are talking about something close to mastery".
|
Personal impact coaching is, by its
nature, specific to the needs of the client but it can cover, for example, any
of the following topics:
* Speechwriting - including the
content, order and weighting of speeches * Developing narrative - story
work and storytelling * Overcoming and addressing blocks to personal
effectiveness * Voice work - including tone, pace and variety *
Relaxation, breathing, centering and self-soothing - overcoming anxieties.
* Meaningful body language - and movement in space * Important meetings
- weight, gravitas and power * Interview technique - boards and similar
competitive situations
Each session, or series
of sessions is tailored to the individual leader's (or team's) needs. William also runs courses such as Maximum Impact: A Leadership Communication Masterclass; Maximum Impact in Everyday Presentations; the Power of Words: writing your speech; Poetry At Work; Passion and Compassion in the Workplace.
