Executive communication moments when there's no second chance
Helping founders and leaders navigate critical moments when failure is costly.
Executive Signal Calibration
At certain points in a career, progress slows not because of performance, but because of how leadership is being read.
A leader may be effective, trusted, and relied upon, yet still remain positioned as a strong contributor rather than someone who shapes direction and leads the organisation forward. The obstacles at this stage are often subtle and difficult to name.
Common patterns include:
Being seen as competent, but not quite cutting through with strategic ideas.
Solid thinking that loses force when spoken aloud.
Authority that holds in calm moments, but leaks under pressure.
Impact that is felt in the room, but doesn’t endure beyond it.
Executive Signal Calibration is designed for leaders who recognise these patterns and want a clear, external read on how their leadership signal is landing.
The work takes place in focused calibration sessions that examine how intent translates into impact, and where signal is diluted. You leave with a precise diagnosis and clear correction points that can be applied immediately.
Sessions are contained, coaching-based, and proportionately priced. Further work is possible where useful, but not assumed.
Strategic Signal
Whether direction, judgement and priority are clearly visible or whether everything just carries equal weight. The difference between deciding before explaining or explaining before deciding.
Structural Signal
Whether ideas are shaped and sequenced for executive attention, especially under pressure or whether the audience is forced to reconstruct your thinking for themselves.
Framing Signal
Embodied signal
This signal is about whether presence and authority hold in the room or dissipate when stakes arise. The question is, under pressure, does the body support te message or does it contradict it?
Where Executive Signal Often Leaks
Whether meaning is shaped in a way that brings shared understanding, or whether it is regularly misinterpreted?
