Does this sound familiar? You regularly engage in high-stakes communication, where even a single conversation can influence millions or even billions of dollars of value. You already carefully prepare for presentations that can impact your company’s reputation and relationships with employees, customers, investors and other stakeholders. But in a volatile world, with uncertainty at an all-time high and everyone’s expectations in constant flux, you can face unexpected challenges and opportunities. What does it take to increase the ROI of your high-stakes communications under the toughest conditions?
