CEO Branding: Why, When and How to Use the CEO in Corporate CommunicationFINN
Research shows that the impact of the CEO in internal and external communication can hardly be overestimated. For stakeholers, "his master's voice" is the most credible and reliable source to learn about a company's strategy, mission, values and culture.
And corporate communications teams are clearly taking note. As is evident from the way companies like Twitter, Square and Microsoft position their chief executives Jack Dorsey and Satya Nadella, companies are working hard to leverage the full star power of their CEOs to get their strategic messages out.
FINN presents its framework for using the CEO in corporate communication, along with practical tips to start creating a useful and compelling CEO brand that aligns with the overall corporate communication strategy.
There has never been a company like Amazon. It has reinvented a 500 year industry. How has Jeff Bezos done it?

“We’re here to put a dent in the universe,” said Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer and then chairman and CEO of Apple Inc. Today, all personal computers incorporate a version of the mouse-driven graphical user interface that Jobs perfected and popularized. The guiding spirit behind the Macintosh computer, iPod, iPad, iPhone and iTunes, Jobs is an American corporate legend. Few people worked more closely with him than Jay Elliot, a former senior vice president at Apple. In this business biography, written before Jobs died, Elliot and co-author William L. Simon detail
Jobs’s corporate achievements, his attention to product detail and his visionary leadership. Their revealing profile to those compelled by or curious about the genius of Jobs.

The old brand model, which advocated the creation of an external brand image to influence consumers, is a thing of the past. We think it’s time to do things differently. So, we wrote this whitepaper drawing upon the anthropological concept of culture to introduce a new model for brands. We argue that its time for true values to replace the external brand image. In other words, looking good is no longer enough. To compete in today’s fast paced landscape, brands must be better from the inside out. We call this new model Brand Culture—and we think it has the potential to transform companies into truly amazing brands.

One Point Per Slide – Why It’s Important and How to Do ItStinson
PowerPoint presentations have come a long way from bullet points and ClipArt. Presentations have evolved with not only the presenter and the audience, but also our preference to be moved and not sold to. One of the biggest presentation trends is having only one point per slide. Check out our presentation to see why having only one point per slide is important!

Meet Generation Z: Forget Everything You Learned About Millennialssparks & honey
Marketers have been focused on Gen Y (a.k.a. Millennials) for more than a decade. In fact, Millennials are the most researched generation in history!
But Gen Z (born 1995 to present) is different from the Millennial generation. In many ways, Gen Zers are the opposites or extreme versions of Millennials and marketers need to adjust to them.
We are just beginning to understand Gen Z and its impact on the future, but this report explores what we know and foresee.
The presentation is based on Brad Stone's book 'The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon'. The presentation portrays Bezos as a creative and visionary leader but also as ruthless person.
Here are 13 alternative ways to design and display content in presentations versus using bullet points. This will work in PowerPoint and other presentation authoring tools.

This deck is not meant to tell a story -- this is just a way to show some random examples. The meaning of the slides may not be at all clear without the narration that goes with the slides.
Your Go-To-Market is Killing Your Business, and You Don't Even Know ItHubSpot
Modern customers expect that it will be easy to learn about your product and buy it, but most of our go-to-markets do the opposite. We ask people to fill out long forms, we build complex qualification rules, we make it tough for prospects to talk to someone right now. In short, we put up barriers that solve for our companies instead of solving for our customers.
At HubSpot, we’re mid-way through transforming our go-to-market to be customer centric. Learn what’s worked for us, what hasn’t, and what we’re building.

Modern Prospecting Techniques for Connecting with Prospects (from Sales Hacke...HubSpot
Sales is a difficult world to be in because buyers aren't putting up with salespeople anymore. Instead of helping and building relationships, sales reps are still focused on closing prospects - even when they aren't ready to buy! So buyers ignore them. Because of that, even great sales reps would be lucky to get on the phone with someone.
While buyers have evolved and become more sophisticated, sales reps and training programs have been slow to adapt to that change.
Learn actionable modern prospecting techniques you can apply immediately from two best selling authors and sales experts: Max Altschuler CEO of Sales Hacker, and Mark Roberge CRO of HubSpot.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Great Speakers Make Better Leaders - 5 Communication Lessons from John Chambers, CEO of Cisco
1. JOHN CHAMBERS
CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF CISCO
COMMUNICATION
TAKEAWAYS
FROM LEADERS
Curly Films Storytelling Office
2. IT´S NOT MAGIC.
IT´S WORK.
John Chambers has been the Executive CEO of Cisco for the last
20 years. When John joined the company, Cisco was making $ 70
million in sales. Today, sales are about $ 48 billion.
GREAT SPEAKERS
MAKE BETTER LEADERS.
John Chambers is today one of the most prolific, compelling
and charismatic speakers on business stage, well known
for connecting emotionally with employees, customers and
investors.
His speeches, body language, stamina and visual content have
become a benchmark in communication and presentation skills
not only at Cisco, but on corporate stages worldwide.
How does he do it ?
4. LEARNING DISABILITIES
STAY WITH YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
John was a good student, but struggled in language, partly because he suffered from dyslexia. Initially as a marketing manager at IBM
and 10 years later as the President and CEO of Cisco, he developed a Spartan work ethic, focusing extra hard on his communication
skills and becoming obsessed with the idea of shaping himself into a pristine communicator. His disability forced him to prepare his
presentations more thoroughly than most speakers - and the result is a captivating, proactive and accessible leader.
WITH DYSLEXIA, YOU CALL PEOPLE THE WRONG NAME, YOU GET YOUR NUMBERS MIXED UP.
6. Customer-centric stories enhance the leader´s
communication and shape the vision your company wants
to convey. The story is what people want. Don´t let
PowerPoint kill visual poetry.
HAVE A STORY
TO TELL
BE A STORYTELLER,
NOT A POWERPOINT JOCKEY.
8. AUTHENTICITY
DEMANDS PREPARATION.
Embrace your personal style, own your quirks
andtwistsanddevelopyourpresentationskills
to your best potential .
Logical speakers communicate with data. Visual
speakers spark strong imagery. Interpersonal
communicators make each member of the audience feel
as if they´re having a direct conversation with them.
9. We care so much about how well we serve
our customers that we’re holding executives
accountable for how well they perform in front
of customers.
LEADERS AT CISCO
MUST BE
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS
Every Cisco executive who presents to a
customer gets rated from 1 to 5 on 2 items:
CONTENT - my audience understands how this solution
can be applied to their business
DELIVERY - the presentation was delivered
clearly and effectively
12. THINK EXPONENTIALLY,
NOT LINEARLY.The best leaders aren´t afraid to be bold. They paint a vision
to where their industry is going. They embrace the adventure
and choose the right casting to endure the journey, even when
success is not a given.
13. YOU´VE GOT TO BE ABLE
TO SEE AROUND CORNERS,
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO
SEE WHEN THERE´S AN
INFLECTION POINT THAT
WILL COMPLETELY THAT
TRANSFORM
EVERYTHING.
14. Cisco sells hardware that we cannot see .
Routers and switches that link networks
and direct traffic over the Internet.
But John Chambers sells a better world,
where the Internet improves the way we live.
SHOW,
DON´T TELL .
THE INTERNET OF EVERYTHING
WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE WORK, LIVE, LEARN AND PLAY.
15. I don´t go down the path of routers and switches.
It´s all about job creation, inclusion , a new generation
of education and health care.
SELL THE DREAM
16. DISRUPT OR BE DISRUPTED.
Just because you won the last information age, it doesn´t
mean you´ll win on this one.
Radical changes and moments of disruption can be scary and often
uncomfortable. But when you get out of your comfort zone and tackle
new opportunities and identify the market gaps that you can fill, you often
succeed. - John Chambers
18. CONNECTION IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT. SIMPLIFY.
DON´T LET POWERPOINT OVERWHELM YOUR STORY.
