Public speaking for public companies
Introduction
You are the Chairman, a board member, or senior executive of a public company – but one thing you dislike most is public speaking.
Yet you have no choice but to step out in front of the cameras and microphones, or on stage.
There are investment conferences and investor roadshows, earnings calls with analysts, and Annual and Extraordinary General Meetings.
That's on top of presentations in the ordinary course of business, such as product launches, town hall meetings and client briefings. Possibly even media interviews.
So, how can you overcome any fear of public speaking and have productive stakeholder meetings, while enhancing your reputation?
