Here's a look at how Wixted Pope Nora Thompson & Associates supported its clients and their business goals with communications strategy and training during 2Q09.
- Simulated, quarterly earnings calls were conducted for the interim CFO of this telecommunications giant during Analyst Communications Training conducted by WPNT. WPNT's Analyst Corps included a former Wall Street banker, a senior leader of a Fortune 200 company, and a former WIRED magazine executive.
- In preparation for interviews with Russian media in that country, WPNT assisted the COO of this Fortune 25 company with Executive Media Training. He has since been named as CEO.
- For a new client to WPNT, the first in a series of private, Executive Communications Coaching programs is underway for the CFO of this international, public company. The programs are focusing on board presentations and analyst earnings calls to further enhance his executive presence.
- Private, Executive Communications Coaching programs are also underway for the operations chief of this leading international airline hub on the eastern seaboard. Also a new client to WPNT, this series of programs are part of the individual's development plan.
- At another international airline, Executive Presentation Training was provided to C-suite leaders in preparation for board meetings, investor and industry conferences. The following day, the corporate communications staff underwent Issues Management Training. A new WPNT Associate with aviation and social media experience assisted with the program.
- In preparation for the release of two research projects, WPNT provided Executive Media Training to this global business consulting concern. One report focused on the education gap in the U.S. and its effects on the recession. The other research addressed the convergence of seven trends responsible for increasing income disparities.
- Charged with studying clean energy, water usage opportunities, and end of life product cycles, WPNT provided Executive Presentation Training to the MBA interns of this Midwest-based technology company. The interns will be making both mid-term and final presentations to senior management during the summer. This internship program is considered one of the finest in the country for recruiting talent from top tier business schools.
- A newly elected bishop, an advocacy lobbyist, and the lead counselor to the presiding bishop for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, participated in Media & Issues Management Training for a second year. WPNT's Press Corps aided in the implementation of a hypothetical scenario surrounding the church-wide assembly scheduled for August.
