The Spokesperson Advantage: Confident Communication for Leaders in the AI Era
Rebecca Jabbar
Spokesperson trainer to global brands
Prepare. Handle anything. Own the room.
You’re good at your job. But when the pressure’s on, does your communication match your capability? The unexpected question in the exec meeting. The presentation where everything’s riding on it. The moment someone tries to derail you.
In a world of AI-polished slides and emails, the live moment is where you’re judged. Every leader is now a spokesperson, and communicating your own thinking is your sharpest competitive edge.
This practical, supportive course gives rising leaders the skills to show up with clarity, composure and conviction. You choose how you take part: step into the hot seat for live practice and feedback, or learn alongside others and practise privately afterwards.
Day 1: Speak with clarity under pressure
Frameworks senior leaders use to think fast, stay on message and handle Q&As with composure
Day 2: Handle anything. Own the room.
My signature method for tough, unexpected or hostile questions, without losing your thread or your cool
Bonus: Your personal message platform
Build a concise, authentic message that represents who you are, and deliver it with impact
Trusted by teams at Google Cloud, Salesforce, Canon, Panasonic, BT and more.
