Is your audience running out of time? Design your Executive Summary and convey the essential with impact.

What is an Executive Summary?

📕 The Executive Summary is the summary of your speech, presented in an appealing way, both in content and form, to captivate your audience and convey the key message.

"You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression." Coco Chanel

Extract the strategic message

Convey the essentials to your audience. It is important to determine:

  • The main objective of your presentation
  • The strategic information you want to convey to your audience
  • Your expectations of your audience (decisions, actions)

Understand your audience and the context

Profile your audience and adapt your speech accordingly.

Why?

Depending on their role within the company, they have different:

  • Concerns
  • Pain points
  • Brakes
  • Needs
  • Objectives

But they all have these things in common:

  • They lack time
  • They are over-solicited, sometimes by meetings of which they are not the target
  • Their attention span is constantly decreasing (it is now 8 seconds - less than that of a goldfish)

 So why are they interested in your presentation? What will it do for them? How will you engage them from start to finish?

Market your message to reinforce your impact

We are in an age of beauty, experience seeking anddwindling attention.
The winning duo of your Executive Summary is thecombination of content and form.
