Communication for Impact
Executive and Leadership Communication for Leaders & Teams
“When winging it is not an option and you need your top talent at the top of their game, it’s a reflex to seek support from the best.”
— Gregg Svingen,
Vice President Internal Corporate Affairs, UPS
Communication has always been at the heart of leadership.
Leaders who show up with presence inspire us to stare down our fear, embrace uncertainty, and be more authentic, vulnerable, and ready to engage.
We feel seen. Connected. Respected. Because what we are hearing is true, and we can feel that it is true.
These are the leaders we remember.
Today, technology, complexity, and the speed of change compete for every leader's attention. Presence, honesty, and the willingness to say something that actually means something are not a nice-to-have anymore. They are the lifeline for any leader committed to taking their organisation into a compelling future.
I work on how you show up, and what you stand for when you do.
My background is as a broadcast journalist with the BBC and ITV in news and current affairs. Since then I've coached C-suite leaders and senior teams worldwide to speak with presence and be trusted when they do.
To communicate clearly and sincerely in town halls, around the board table, under every media scrutiny.
In every room you walk into, online and off.
So others feel it, and are inspired to challenge, speak up, and commit fully to what you're building together.
This work extends beyond you, to the whole leadership team.
Aligning voices. Making sure your strategy and message land with the people who have to carry them forward. Finding the clarity and excitement to model the behaviours and tone the change actually requires.
Creating resonance and reach.
Where a sense of belonging naturally grows. And your influence expands, to reach the partners and communities you need to shape what comes next.
My promise is simple. I will hear you.
I will make sure you sound like yourself. Sincere and trustworthy in your delivery. Confident enough to take people beyond the proven and familiar through the power of your presence.
It all starts with a conversation.
“If you’re looking to grow together as a leadership team, define a new sense of direction, or communicate with more impact, there’s no one I could recommend more.”
― Ines Streimelweger-Pohl,
Investor, Hedosophia
You may recognise yourself in some of these…
Admired for commercial brilliance, but told you lack emotional connection
New in the role and yet to feel the grit of experience behind your words
Overly explaining your vision without it taking hold
At the helm of a newly merged business, others need direction
Your leadership team looks divided. Disempowering, when it comes to communicating change.
Investors remain sceptical
Your reputation, personal or organisational, is being challenged. You need to tell your story honestly, openly, and with humility.
“Working with Carissa has been transformational. She helps you to understand what is required at the next more senior level … and what is expected at the top table.”
