Does Alan require a pre-speech conference call?
It is not required, but we strongly recommend it and usually hold one. Speaking to the principals and planners helps Alan understand the organizations concerns, focus and objectives. For example: A company or association who hires Alan to speak on CHANGE could be merging with another entity, facing uncertain markets or have downside effects of merging organizational cultures. The audience could be discouraged, apprehensive or concerned about a RIF. Each of these variables and so many more, affect how Alan delivers his message. A conference call helps the principals clarify the nature and mood of the audience and their most important needs.
