Executive briefing skills are a cornerstone to success, whether you’re presenting information to your team, your supervisor, or to an audience of decision-makers. Your ability to brief senior executives in a compelling way can be a game-changer for your career personally, and for your team’s objectives agency-wide. Mastering the art of delivering a compelling message—one that instills belief and trust—is absolutely crucial.

CommCore provides communications counsel and training to senior officials and spokespeople at federal government agencies, NGOs, and government contractors. CommCore is a Multiple Award Schedule holder under GSA.

White House and Congressional staffers do it every day. Most have studied how to put the right information in layman’s terms and then compress it, no matter how complex the topic or limited the time they’re given. Just like salespeople become masters of “the elevator pitch,” hitting key points and making a persuasive argument every time they speak to a decision-maker, government agency managers and staff need to master the art of presenting technical briefs, negotiating contracts, having difficult conversations with staff, and giving both virtual and in-person presentations.
