Communicating with senior leaders and executives requires a different set of skills than communicating with peers or technical teams. 

They often make high-consequence decisions with limited time and incomplete information. They rely on clear, concise communication that highlights mission impact, explains risk, and provides actionable recommendations without unnecessary detail. 

As organizations continue to evolve and experienced senior leaders and executives retire, many federal employees are stepping into acting and supervisory roles earlier in their careers. While these professionals possess strong technical expertise, many have had limited opportunities to learn how to communicate effectively with agency leaders and Senior Executive Service (SES) members.  

Join us for Communicating Effectively with Senior Executives, a practical webinar presented by leadership expert Charles Tapp II. 

Designed for federal, state, and local government professionals, this webinar explores practical techniques for preparing executive briefings, writing effective executive summaries, and presenting information in ways that support faster, more informed decision-making. 

Rather than focusing on presentation mechanics alone, this session emphasizes how to communicate what matters most so senior leaders and executives can quickly understand issues, evaluate options, and confidently move forward. 

Key topics include:

  • Understanding what senior leaders need—and what they don’t  
  • Turning complex information into concise executive messages  
  • Communicating data through meaningful stories and outcomes  
  • Common communication mistakes that reduce executive engagement—and how to avoid them  

Whether you’re preparing your first executive briefing or looking to strengthen an essential leadership skill, you’ll leave with practical techniques you can apply immediately.
