With leadership transitions, aggressive transformation agendas, new board members, and activist shareholder pressures reshaping today’s corporate environment, communications leaders are being asked to adapt quickly and operate with greater influence at the highest levels.

In this roundtable hosted by Linda Rutherford, Executive Advisor and former Chief Administration & Communications Officer at Southwest Airlines, we’ll explore how senior communications leaders can strengthen their roles as trusted advisors to both the CEO/C-suite and the board. Discussion will center on how to:

  • Navigate evolving leadership styles and shifting boardroom expectations.
  • Build powerful, influential relationships across the C-suite and board.
  • Balance hard skills and expertise like strategy and writing with soft skills like gravitas that create lasting impact.
  • Identify gaps in focus and leadership style to prepare for the “next level” of influence.
  • Leverage opportunities with senior executives and the board to ensure communications has a voice in shaping strategic decisions.

This conversation is designed for communications leaders seeking to expand their influence, sharpen their leadership presence, and position themselves as a reasoned and credible voice in moments of change and transformation.

We welcome CCOs, VPs, and Directors of Communications to request an invitation to join this roundtable discussion.

Upon qualification, you will receive a follow up email from a member of our team confirming your participation.
