    The Leader’s Edge is a three-day program for corporate leaders or Senior Executives with high communication experience. Invitations to this program are extended to executives who are positioned to influence the way their organization’s messages are communicated, internally and externally. Speakeasy’s most senior instructors conduct this special program, working with each participant to help them develop a communication style that can meet the challenges and maximize the opportunities of their position – ­ one that can lead others, build trust, and achieve greater results for themselves and their organization. In this program, participants receive the kind of candid, detailed feedback seldom heard by people at their level.

    Participant titles typically include CEO, President, Executive Vice President, or similar.
