Introduction

Leadership effectiveness in modern organisations is defined not only by expertise or position, but by the ability to communicate with credibility, influence, and authenticity. Senior leaders are expected to articulate vision, inspire confidence, manage complexity, and mobilise others through words, tone, and presence. Yet communication capability is often assumed rather than intentionally developed, leaving leaders underprepared for high-stakes engagement.

This Voice of Leadership Course focuses on communication as a core leadership capability rather than a presentation skill. It examines how influence is created through behavioural versatility, clarity of message, vocal authority, and ethical persuasion. Participants will explore how leadership presence is perceived, how credibility is built, and how messages can be delivered with confidence and impact across formal and informal settings.

The course equips leaders to communicate decisively, manage pressure, and engage audiences with legitimacy and integrity. It strengthens the ability to align communication with leadership intent, organisational values, and desired outcomes.

Key focus areas include:
