Getting Executive Buy-in
Making unsexy proposals irresistible 


The Big Idea

Overcome the unique challenges of getting boring proposals approved by learning how to sell unsexy ideas.

Keynote Description

Every organisation runs on the boring but critical initiatives that keep the lights on, ensure compliance and prevent disaster, but frequently struggle to get funded or prioritised.


While flashy innovation projects sail through approval processes, essential but unglamorous proposals often die slow deaths in boardrooms – not because they lack merit, but because they lack the magnetic pull that captures executive attention.


The difference between proposals that get approved and those that get shelved isn't their importance. It’s their presentation. Masters of executive influence understand that even the most unsexy proposal can become irresistible when framed correctly.

Key take aways

This transformative keynote combines behavioural psychology with proven executive communication strategies to reveal:

  • Why important proposals get rejected
  • The landmines you need to avoid
  • How to frame your proposal to go from information to influence
  • Learn how to upstage the latest shiny object

Leaders will walk away with a battle-tested framework to turn critical but overlooked initiatives into compelling business cases that executives can't ignore, ensuring the most vital organisational needs receive the attention and resources they deserve.

This keynote empowers your team to master the art of making the essential irresistible, the necessary feel urgent and the boring feel exciting. In an era where attention is precious, leaders who master this skill will be the ones driving organisational success.

Getting Executive Sign-Off is an ideal stand-alone conference keynote or an extended half-day program. It can be delivered in person or virtually.

Audiences

Anyone needing to secure approval for critical but unglamorous initiatives.
