Launch of the HBM Alumni Program for training and coaching participants

Over the past seven years since I started coaching media skills and communications using CliftonStrengths®, we have grown our community of participants to more than 3,000. Often they come from disparate industries, but are at very similar points in their careers. They are either being groomed to be spokespeople and to represent their companies at public speaking engagements, or they are already in the senior leadership team and have no choice but to appear in public.

Of course, the other thing they have in common is that they're coming to us for training. And because we take a continuous coaching approach we already offer a number of services before and after our workshops.

Before our workshop, participants can send in videos of their past public speaking engagements. They also receive our brand new compendium to help them prepare for their time in our studio. After all, our workshops are not just a training course, but a rehearsal.

After the workshop, the coaching journey continues. They can continue to send me video links to their public speaking engagements for review and a detailed written assessment.

In addition, they can review their videos from the training workshops as well as an AI review of their performance.

Participants usually come to us to be groomed to speak in public, so we also monitor the media for instances where they are quoted, with media monitoring hits emailed to you automatically as and when they appear.

The HBM Alumni Program is a free service for our media training clients. Participants are registered automatically after they attend the workshop.

We hope to grow this community by inviting participants to be available for other participants from your organization so they can support and learn from each other in the weeks and months following our workshop.

Look out for further announcements along these lines. Please get in touch if you have specific requests.
