At Be Delighted, we want to ease that burden from your shoulders. At any given time, the listener searches for clues of clarity, meaning, and emotion that help assess the reliability of the C-Suite Executive. “I loved that meeting!” If spoken out loud, would you interpret this expression as one of excitement or facetious boredom? Whether verbalizing oneself by phone, in a meeting, at a seminar, or on media, an audience makes instant and sometimes lasting assumptions about a leader and the representative company.
