Five-Star
Communication
for Leaders
Exceptional leaders are remembered not just for what they decide, but for how they communicate. In an era of constant change and information overload, “five-star” communication — clear, authentic, intentional, and impactful — is a defining leadership skill. Yet it doesn’t happen by accident. It requires a deliberate blend of skill, strategy, and self-awareness.

More About This Event
A High-Impact Workshop for Leaders Ready to Elevate Their Influence
In today’s fast-paced, high-stakes environment, communication isn’t just a skill—it’s a strategic advantage. Whether you’re driving organizational change, navigating cross-functional dynamics, or building stakeholder trust, the way you communicate determines your effectiveness as a leader.
Join us for this hands-on, results-driven workshop where you’ll learn to master the Five-Star Communications Framework—a powerful approach used by top-performing leaders to align teams, engage stakeholders, and accelerate outcomes.
The anatomy of five-star communication:
- Make messages resonate, stick, and mobilize action.
- Balance clarity and empathy, adapting messages for different audiences (sometimes an audience of one) without diluting your intent.
- Effective listening is the foundation of exceptional communication—and how to do it actively and visibly.
- Practical techniques to avoid common leadership communication pitfalls like ambiguity, over-complication, or unintentional misalignment.
For every 1$ billion invested in the United States, $122 million is wasted due to lacking project performance. (source: Project Management Institute) Most of that waste is attributed to poor leadership communication. — Bob Tipton
Learning Objectives
- Stakeholder Analysis
Identify your audiences (individuals, teams, groups, whole organizations) with precision and clarity. Learn how to map priorities, perspectives, and influence to communicate with purpose.
- Tailored and Relevant Content
Ditch the one-size-fits-all messaging. Discover how to craft content that resonates deeply with each audience—so they listen, remember, and act.
- Timing and Frequency
The when is just as important as the what. Learn how to optimize the timing and cadence of your communications for maximum impact.
- Multimodal Delivery
Email? Video? Town hall? Slack? Explore which modalities work best for different messages and how to leverage multiple channels without just creating more “noise.”
- Measuring Results
Communication is only effective if it works. Learn how to track, assess, and adjust your strategies using meaningful feedback and metrics.
Outcomes
Walk away with a practical toolkit and real-world templates, ready to implement on Day 1. Whether you’re launching a new initiative, aligning a team, or managing change—this workshop will equip you to communicate like a five-star leader.
