Here is one thing that makes most of my clients cringe: the idea that they must reach out to a person they barely know and “sell themselves” in order to get a new job.
I get that.
Reaching out to a stranger to turn them into a sponsor of your success requires tons of courage. After all, who enjoys being ghosted or outright rejected?
But here is the thing: you can reach out to your internal and external stakeholders courageously, gracefully, and without cringing.
How?
That’s what I plan to teach you in this executive career management workshop.
WHAT IS COURAGEOUS OUTREACH?
Over the last 17 years, I have put food on my table by reaching out to total strangers to sell them executive training, coaching, and mentoring services.
In a foreign country.
Usually, in my third or fourth language.
Essentially, I would reach out in my imperfect Czech to sell strategic communication services… to Czechs.
If there is a fast lane to ghosting, cringe, and rejection, I’ve traveled it a thousand times.
So, how about we get over those difficult emotions related to cold outreach and learn how to focus more on what truly matters – how to encourage your key internal and external stakeholders to become active sponsors of your success?
That’s what we will do in this workshop.
WHAT TOPICS WILL WE COVER TOGETHER DURING THIS WORKSHOP?
During this workshop, we will look at:
- Why outreach makes people cringe – and how to overcome the fear of being ghosted or rejected that may be triggered when we need to reach out to new people.
- How to identify our key internal and external stakeholders – and how to develop solid relationships with them BEFORE we need them.
- How to design dignified stakeholder engagement strategies that don’t feel pushy, clingy, or awkward.
- How to clarify your core message – what you want your stakeholders to know about you and say about you when you’re not in the room.
- How to craft direct outreach messages that engage people AND convey your value with dignity and grace.
- How to track in-person conversations, emails, and direct messages (DMs) on social media) and how to deepen your stakeholder relationships for sustainable success.
During this workshop, we will engage in robust self-reflection. Come prepared to be fully present AND to take copious notes.
After all, this is your ME-TIME – protect it with all your might.
WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE WITH AT THE END OF THIS WORKSHOP?
At the end of this workshop, you will leave with:
- A clear understanding of the concept of direct stakeholder outreach and how it can help you build your network of strategic contacts and fuel your future career growth.
- Rich, heartwarming insights about what truly matters to you when building emotionally authentic, mutually beneficial stakeholder relationships.
- Clarity about your next steps in stakeholder management in 2027 and how these steps can fuel your career growth.
- A downloadable textbook that you can use anytime after the workshop to deepen your self-reflection.
- A sense of community and support – you’re not alone on this journey.
