Get to Know Suzanne

Podcast Episode #36 — Effectively Communicate and Be Resilient with Suzanne BatesOur guest today is the CEO of Bates Communications, a global coaching and consulting firm that helps organizations improve performance through communicative leadership.

Bestselling Author

She’s the author of All the Leader You Can Be: The Science of Achieving Extraordinary Executive Presence (McGraw Hill 2016) and the bestselling Speak Like a CEO: Secrets for Commanding Attention and Getting Results (McGraw Hill 2005), which went to #6 on amazon.com and is now published in seven languages.

The Start of Bates Communication

Suzanne launched the firm in 2000 after 20+ years as an award-winning broadcast journalist in Boston and other national markets.

She’s developed proven coaching and leadership development methods to help leaders build presence and influence, based on her successful career in television journalism and experiences as the first woman anchor in various markets.

Welcome!

We connected on LinkedIn and I am honored and humbled to have her on the show. Our guest today is Suzanne Bates. Suzanne, welcome to the show!

Communication is One of the Biggest Needs

Early in Suzanne’s career, she took a leap and transitioned from the news room to CEO of her own entrepreneurial adventure. She decided to start Bates Communication. “I saw the path in my life to make a change. I guess I had the entrepreneurial bug. I started modestly just thinking, perhaps I could carve out a niche as a solo entrepreneur doing presentations, media, and leadership communication coaching.” That’s what she did in the beginning.

As she got to know more leaders, she realized there was a deeper need that she could fill. That required a more comprehensive approach. She built a company and brought in people that had expertise in a variety of areas.

The Need for Communication Coaching

As she consulted with a variety of companies, leaders explained that communication training and skills were the biggest need. That was due to communication breakdowns and challenges to effectively communicate the vision and direction of the organization.

Suzanne explained that “It’s [effectively communicating] the most important thing leaders can do. Learn to tell the story, engage their audiences, connect them to the purpose, and understand what kind of qualities of presence there are.” “Qualities of presence are a lot more than people think. It’s qualities of character like authenticity, integrity, concern about other people, and the substance we bring to our deliberations and decisions.” She explained that it includes things like practical wisdom, decisiveness, and the style of communication we bring.

Entrepreneurship to Leadership

From age 21 on, Kevin has always started and run companies. “When I think back on my early failures, it’s been either because I didn’t know how to use time to be productive, or because I didn’t know how to lead people. I didn’t understand the importance of leadership.”

“Leadership is really THE most important variable to having a successful life, whether you’re in business or not. When I sold the last company, I decided that while I am taking some time away from being an entrepreneur, let me just explore, think harder, and share what I have learned about leadership and productivity. It’s been kind of a one decade pause to reflect on what’s worked for me and what hasn’t.” [Read more…] about Podcast Episode #34 — Feedback — The Most Powerful Keys to Success with Kevin Kruse
