How flexible a presenter are you? Could you deliver a ‘good cop, bad cop’ message?
My corporate client had a tough message that she wanted to get through to a group of her internal stakeholders. The message was-
Grow up
Take some responsibility
Make the most of this amazing opportunity you have working for this world-leading firm.
She hired me to help her make the point and we decided that we’d adopt the strategy of 1950’s film noir cops, and we scripted a speech together for me to deliver as a part of 4-hour session. I played the grizzled ‘bad cop’ and she, the polished, concerned ‘good cop’ of legend.
