Leadership Skills & Executive Communication Training: Alternatives to Handshakes by Ruth Sherman
In my field, the nonverbal communication code of touch is known as haptics. Yes, it’s the same term phone manufacturers use to refer to the mobile phone vibrate notification. In particular, the handshake has been a powerful tool in Western business communication for decades. So I’ve been very curious about how our use of touch, including the handshake, will change when physical distancing is relaxed, what it will mean, and how we’ll adapt. Confession: I will not be unhappy to see the habit of business hugging go away.

Leadership Communication Training: Know the Power of Protest by Ruth Sherman
It’s time to collectively raise our voices loud and clear and protest that we are Americans, united, and we will not stand for being terrorized or threatened by our own government – local, state, or federal. I never thought I’d utter words like that. And I went to Kent State, so I know something about it.

Top Media Training for Executives by Ruth Sherman
The media can work for you or against you in direct relation to your level of preparedness. Media exposure requires leaders to positively convey messages via the press in both official and unscripted capacities. While most media training courses are delivered with a journalist mind-set, ours are delivered strictly from the client’s point of view. We believe for executives to perform well in a high-stakes media setting, they must be able to assert themselves while remaining likable; deliver powerful and logical talking points while being concise; present themselves and their businesses with conviction while conveying empathy; and be flexible while staying on-message and in control. Media training for executives prepares leaders for expert interviews, corporate news delivery, and crisis communication.
