Innovative Leadership Winning Skills for You and Your Team Program Overview. Fast-evolving markets and heightened competition are the norms in today’s global economy, where very few companies, and their results, stand out. This competitive advantage often results not from the most ingenious product design, the best marketing strategy, or state-of-theart production technology, but rather from the effective leadership of a company. Whilst many organizations recognize the importance of managing their work force effectively, it is alarming how often firms and managers fail to do so. What is more, many organizations are now replacing traditional pyramidal and hierarchical organizational structures with flatter managerial models. Under these circumstances, teams are becoming the principal axis around which most processes pivot. Therefore, the success of an executive lies in his or her capacity to develop and lead herself and her team effectively. Innovative Leadership is a challenging three-day hands-on practical international executive program that focuses on how to identify the roles that a successful global leader plays and how to maximize them.

Communication Skills and Public Speaking Workshop Becoming a Confident and Persuasive Presenter Program Overview.
“That government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”. “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.” “I have a dream”. “Tear down this wall”. “Ask not what your country can do for you”. “There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere.” All excerpts from monumental speeches that have moved people to action. Yet how many talks have you attended recently that have influenced you, whether it was the presentation of a marketing plan, a sales pitch, an IPO roadshow, your company’s annual convention, or a stockholders meeting? Presentations today are mostly nothing to write home about. But what you say, how you say it, and how you make it relevant to the audience, can turn an idea into a power horse. And many ideas are dumped daily because their originators do not present them in a dynamic and convincing way. Presentation skills rank among the most practical for executives: nothing will give you a more immediate competitive edge than the ability to communicate orally in a fluent and confident manner. IE Business School’s Public Speaking Workshop offers a comprehensive view of all aspects involved in doing effective presentations. The program covers content, delivery, stress control, use of audiovisual aids, and handling tough questions.
Program Objectives.
This very practical international executive program is designed to equip you with all the necessary skills and methods to always succeed in delivering compelling presentations. You will learn under the camera and by watching yourself and your instructors act. Nothing changes your performance faster than seeing yourself on video, under the guide of a professional public speaking coach. You will also benefit from seeing peers present, and will learn from other speakers’ performances. Never again go unprepared to a presentation. Throughout this program you will develop a sound understanding of how to: • Structure your message with a flow which is logical and easy to follow • Pinpoint and precisely transmit your message • Make your presentation interesting • Illustrate dull facts with stories • Develop a compelling voice • Manage your gestures to illustrate your talk • Dominate nervousness and channel it to your advantage • Control the Q&A session and answer difficult questions • Use audiovisual aids to highlight your message
Program Content.
IE Business School’s Communication Skills and Public Speaking Workshop is taught by Professors Lola Martínez and Javier Bernad who address all areas involved in doing presentations, including: Effective body language and how to use your voice to command attention and to transmit power Learn how to express yourself with your body and voice to illustrate the message. Leaders today use communication to maximum effect. Learn how to stand up, be heard, and master the art of reaching and influencing others. Through practical exercises, we will learn how to use our body and voice to transmit a powerful message. By having a higher awareness of our verbal and nonverbal communication, the impact will be greater.
Storytelling We are geared to learn through stories. Your audience does too. Through the art of storytelling and the use of engaging examples you will become a powerful business storyteller. You will learn how to choose and craft stories that deliver a strong and effective message. Apply the benefits of strategic communication and become the best storyteller. Controlling nervousness The shakes and those butterflies in your stomach make you perform at a fraction of your possibilities. Dominating stress is key to drive through a compelling performance. Sticky situations When presenting, we often come across situations that can derail our speech. Do not let this happen to you. Learn how to manage even the most difficult situations, including challenging conversations. Structuring your message We can unload a cartful of data on our audience, or we can drive home our message using a structure that makes it appear clear and easy to understand. Do not join the Anti-PowerPoint Alliance Slideware is a great invention, though poorly used most of the time. Use PowerPoint as a visual aid, not as a never-to-be-read hand-out which you project on the screen. Handling the Media and Media Training How do you handle the media? Learn insights and strategies necessary to manage image and enhance reputation. Gain control during a crisis, following the rules for interviews. Learn to craft a core message that will resonate with the public. Answer tough questions smoothly. And learn invaluable information that will put you in the forefront of your company. Answering difficult questions with ease Some very good presenters lose it during the Q&A session. Learn how to answer any type of question, under the lens of a seasoned journalist. Get professional one-on-one feedback, and see yourself on video Group and individual sessions with a personal coach will highlight your strengths and key improvement areas. Your take-away is a clear understanding of your abilities, and of how to improve them.

Coaching for Results
Helping your Collaborators Maximize their Competencies and Results Program Overview.
Managing the team relationship, but also your 1:1 relationship with each individual is the most important factor to achieve the best performance from all of your subordinates.

Change Management Workshop Minding Change & Changing Minds
Program Overview. Panta rei, Greek proverb meaning, everything changes. Everything is subject to a constant evolving process. Markets, products and technology change. As change becomes cumulative, the systems they affect become more complex, while uncertainty increases, resulting in a decline in productivity and commitment for those in the trench-lines. The outcome: assured losses in resources, both economic and human, and an immense likelihood of adding to the alarming rate of failure that accompanies change processes. It is therefore evident that the single most important core competency to develop today, both for organizations and the executives who manage them, is to learn how to consistently and effectively manage the emotional and rational aspects of change and the positive implications change processes can offer their organizations. IE Business School’s Change Management Workshop offers an in-depth view of the step-bystep process: conceptual, disruptive, theoretical, practical and finally, tactical approaches to change, as well as, the holistic frameworks needed to understand how the process of change affects the core pillars of organizational strategic management: capital, talent and technology, and how firms can learn to harness them to obtain their given business objectives.
Program Objectives.
This hands-on international executive program is designed to provide a clear understanding of the capabilities needed to address the strategic and tactical aspects of change, and the business processes required to undertake them. The result: a learning organization ready to master its competitive edge. Throughout this program you will develop a sound understanding of how to: • Assess your personal readiness towards change management capabilities. • Discover the main barriers that may derail your organization during change processes. • Identify the change anti-values and barriers that could prevent you from obtaining the best return for your organization. • Gear up your leadership skills as a change process agent and leader. • Acquire disruptive thinking techniques, for you and your team, to create and promote change. • Determine the resource needs for any organizational change project. • Differentiate among the different types of change required to reinforce and accelerate the path towards competitive advantage.
Program Content.
Understanding the philosophical structure of change These sessions will explain how change often has external drivers and forces that can be detected, corrected and/or rebalanced with the use of organizational resources. Grasping the conceptual structure of change During these sessions diagnostic tools, source selection processes, indicator identification and strategic analysis will be presented to foresee difficulties in change processes. Guiding your organization through change processes Change does not necessarily imply revolution. Understanding change as a part of life is required to prepare organizations to adequately affront adaptive changes and shifts. The ability to correct the ship’s course offers a distinctive cost-effective driver.
Change management: Changing management thinking There are several types of change, and not all of them require the same mindset or preparation. Different types of thinking serve different types of change processes. The backbone: Your Corporate Values When managing change processes we may loose sight of some fundamental concepts such as, corporate values. That is why looking at the DNA of the organization is a fundamental step to ensure the correct change strategy. Systemic thinking for change management Organizations are open systems. Understanding the fundamental structure of systems and how they function can help to better decide which drivers, levers or resources may be crucial for specific change processes. External and internal markets External and internal markets send signals and messages to corporate systems that can help management to recommend better change alternatives for their organizations. Disruptive thinking Through the use of disruptive thinking tools, we will discover the key to generating new thinking methods that assist change processes. Innovation and Institutionalization: Spark, hub, take off Innovation is, through its multiple facets, the perfect ally for change. Understanding the environmental conditions that drive creativity is a priceless tool when generating a culture of risk-taking that supports new project developments. Changing culture and leadership At the end of the day a successful change process should also provoke a cultural rebirth within the organization, transforming it into a flexible learning system. Leadership is the key channel for this process.

Executives negotiate on a daily basis with superiors, colleagues and subordinates, potential partners and competitors, investors and board members, clients and suppliers, employees and labour unions. In this complex and changing business environment, where consensus and leadership prevail over authority, acquiring excellent negotiation skills is essential to succeed. IE Business School’s Executive Negotiation Professors combine the latest and most effective negotiation theories and practices. Our renowned academics in the field will inspire you with innovative thoughts and provide winning skills and valuable practices that are applicable to all types of negotiation settings. Drawing on their combined knowledge, training, and real-world experiences, both faculty members will advise you while you prepare and conduct simulated negotiations, from small to large, internal to external, bi-lateral to multi-lateral, daily to extraordinary.
Program Objectives.
This Executive Negotiation Workshop is an intensive four-day international executive program designed to sharpen the experienced negotiator’s practical skills and deepen the participants’ theoretical knowledge. During the program you will attend short lectures, participate in case discussions, role-play simulations, multi-party negotiations, and face-to-face exercises. You will learn how to bargain successfully, and gain the commitment and cooperation of others which will help you build long-term partnerships and agreements that will create value for your company.

LEARNING MODEL These international skill development programs have been designed to push participants beyond simply acquiring new knowledge and skills. They are built around interactive discussions, case studies and teamwork, all of which are intended to expose participants to the frameworks and tools they will need to succeed in an international and competitive business environment. These programs also attract a highly diverse and qualified audience that spans a wide range of business titles and functions. The resulting input of backgrounds and cultures allows participants to learn from different perspectives and techniques, building upon the experience and expertise of one another. In order to continue networking and sharing with fellow participants after their experience in Madrid and at IE, we will launch a virtual online campus which will allow executives to reconnect, recharge and recommit to their strategic and personal development plan.
