Nov. 16 – Why Should Your Boss Listen to You?
The Seven Disciplines of the Trusted Strategic Advisor with Jim Lukaszewski
Becoming a trusted advisor is a giant step beyond being at the table, providing only advice and counsel. For most of us, whether in a staff position or an outside consultant, becoming a trusted advisor is what we truly seek to accomplish. Whether your work in a corporation, association, non-profit, agency, consulting, firm, or government agency, and no matter what your job title; from the most junior level position to the highest, sensible counsel, useful ideas, and strategic suggestions help important people and organizations achieve objectives and goals, and are at the heart of becoming a trusted confidante and advisor. This is a program about you, who you are, and how you can have a much more meaningful life and career. This is a program about tools and techniques. This is a program about the art of giving advice; advice that will be taken and used.
James E. Lukaszewski has been a trusted strategic advisor for most of his career, both during his service in government and later as he became a communications management consultant. He advises, coaches, and counsels the men and women who run very large corporations and organizations. His work as founder, CEO, and chairman of the Lukaszewski Group Inc. is managing and counteracting tough, touchy, sensitive corporate communications issues. His broad-based experience ranges from media-initiated investigations to product recalls and plant closings, from criminal litigation to takeovers. The situations he helps resolve often involve conflict, controversy, community action, activist opposition, and civil or criminal litigation.
Jim has the unique ability to help executives look at problems from a variety of principled perspectives. His name appeared in Corporate Legal Times as one of “28 Experts to Call When All Hell Breaks Loose,” and in PR Week as one of 22 “crunch-time counselors who should be on the speed dial in a crisis.” Jim helps prepare spokespersons for crucial public appearances, local and network news interviews including 20-20, 60 Minutes, Dateline NBC, and Nightline, and for financial analyst meetings and legislative and congressional testimony.
