OVERVIEW: Great leaders don’t just talk—they communicate with intention, clarity, and impact. Whether you’re guiding a team through change, delivering performance feedback, or presenting to senior leadership, how you deliver your message can either inspire action or create confusion. In this interactive session designed for supervisors and mid-to-senior level leaders in electric cooperatives, you’ll learn to tailor your communication style to any situation—from field crews and office teams to boardrooms and C-suite presentations. You’ll practice using real-world tools and strategies that enhance your leadership presence, sharpen your message, and build trust at every level of the organization. With a mix of scenario-based exercises, communication frameworks, and practical feedback techniques, this session will equip you to lead with confidence—whether you're on the floor or in front of the board.

Those who would benefit include:
o Supervisors and team leaders – especially those managing line crews, engineering teams, or member services staff
o Department managers and mid-level leaders – needing to balance communication between frontline staff and executives
o Directors and senior managers – who present regularly to the board or executive team
o Emerging leaders – employees being developed for leadership roles who need to strengthen professional presence

Why? The course bridges everyday staff direction with high-level executive/board communication—critical for those who need to influence up, down, and across the co-op.

March 12 and December 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. – lunch is provided
