Executive Communications Workshop
Representing Your Agency to External Audiences

A critical function of public executives is to represent their agency to external audiences such as the media, other agencies, stakeholder groups, the public, and Congress. This highly interactive workshop improves skills in communicating messages plainly and concisely to an external audience, dealing with the media, and writing clearly for people outside the agency.

Workshop participants have opportunities to practice oral and written communication skills in a variety of settings, including a news conference, a briefing, a public hearing, and a Congressional hearing. Participants work on refining their message, improving their presentation style, and revising and editing written documents from their own agencies.

Learning techniques include practical exercises, activities with facilitated debriefings, and discussions and presentations with real-time feedback. There are also opportunities for the exchange of ideas with colleagues from other agencies.
