How We Engage

Wilkinson Advisory engages through focused, time-bound advisory designed to solve specific communication and role-clarity problems. Engagements are defined in advance, typically spanning 2–12 weeks, and combine 1:1 advisory with targeted written guidance. The work is grounded in real situations and real decisions, not abstract frameworks or workshops. Everything is designed for immediate application in your current role. There are no long programs and no generic playbooks - we work on what you are actually facing right now.

Your return on investment

Change Management and Communications Consulting

Clients can expect a clearer articulation of responsibilities, decision rights, and boundaries. This often results in fewer unnecessary meetings and less follow-up work.

Confidence in executive communication will improve, particularly in senior or high-stakes settings. Clients report communicating more decisively, responding more concisely, and spending less energy over-explaining or self-editing.

Within 30–45 days, clients can expect to see a noticeable increase in perceived authority and composure among stakeholders. Communication becomes more aligned with intent, misunderstandings decrease, and fewer conversations require repair or clarification.

Time and cognitive load are also reduced. Clients can expect to reclaim 5–10 hours per week previously lost to rework, rumination, and unclear expectations. Decision cycles shorten, communication loops clean up, and attention returns to actual leadership and execution.

Executive Presence Coaching

Clients can expect an increase in confidence when speaking in senior, visible, or high-stakes settings. Verbal communication becomes shorter, clearer, and more decisive, with less over-explaining or self-correction.

Clarity around your role, both now and ahead, improves, resulting in stronger boundaries, clearer decision ownership, and reduced second-guessing. Clients report fewer unnecessary meetings and less time spent managing ambiguity.

Perceived executive presence and credibility increase noticeably within 30–45 days. Stakeholders experience greater composure, authority, and consistency, particularly under pressure or scrutiny.

Cognitive load and emotional friction decrease, with most clients reclaiming 5–10 hours per week previously lost to rumination, rework, or unclear expectations. Decision cycles shorten and follow-up conversations decline.

The net result is more effective leadership with less effort: clearer ownership, stronger communication, and sustained confidence in how you show up and are perceived.

Our Offerings

Transformational storytelling for complex change

Wilkinson Advisory partners with organizations during moments of structural, cultural, or operational change - when clarity, credibility, and timing matter as much as the strategy itself. This work supports leaders through mergers and acquisitions, restructures, operating-model shifts, technology implementations, and enterprise-wide change initiatives.

Engagements are designed to bring order, coherence, and confidence to communication during uncertainty. We focus on aligning leadership narratives early, sequencing messages intentionally, and equipping managers to communicate change consistently across the organization.

Typical engagements run 6–12 weeks, aligned to key decision points and rollout milestones. Work follows a clear structure: diagnostic, narrative alignment, leader enablement, and execution support. The result is communication that reduces noise, limits speculation, and accelerates adoption.

This offering is especially effective when organizations need to move quickly without sacrificing trust—or when prior change efforts have created fatigue or confusion.

Deliverables may include enterprise change communication strategy, executive and manager toolkits, core change narrative and FAQs, leadership talking points, employee email and video scripts, rollout and cascade plans, and message sequencing aligned to business milestones.

The outcome is change that is understood, owned, and acted on—not just announced.

Strategic Messaging & Copywriting (Add-On Retainer)

Strategic Messaging & Copywriting is available as an add-on retainer to Organizational Change Communications for organizations that require ongoing, high-stakes writing support as change unfolds. This offering ensures that core narratives remain consistent, human, and credible across every touchpoint—especially as details evolve and new decisions are made.

Retainers are typically structured in monthly or milestone-based increments and run alongside active change programs. Work is responsive and tightly integrated with leadership decision cycles, allowing messaging to stay aligned as strategies, timelines, or stakeholder concerns shift.

This engagement focuses on translating business complexity into language employees, leaders, and external audiences can understand and trust. The emphasis is on clarity, tone, and precision—reducing confusion, limiting rumor, and reinforcing leadership intent without overstatement.

Common deliverables include CEO and executive speeches, leadership and employee Q&A briefs, town hall and webcast scripts, intranet and microsite content, narrative frameworks, and message refinements as initiatives progress.

The result is continuity and coherence: strategy expressed in plain, confident language that holds together over time, even as the organization moves through change.

Executive Presence & Leadership Coaching

Wilkinson Advisory provides executive presence and leadership coaching for senior leaders who must communicate clearly and credibly under pressure. This work is designed for moments when visibility increases, stakes are high, or leadership tone directly affects confidence across teams—such as during organizational change, public scrutiny, or role transitions.

Engagements are delivered through 1:1 or small-group coaching, typically over 4–10 weeks, and are anchored in real, immediate leadership situations. Rather than abstract coaching, sessions focus on live scenarios leaders are facing now: high-stakes presentations, difficult conversations, executive forums, and moments of ambiguity.

The coaching follows a clear structure: baseline assessment, message and presence alignment, applied practice, and real-world execution. Leaders develop a consistent leadership voice that balances authority with empathy and steadiness, particularly when information is incomplete or emotions are elevated.

Common focus areas include executive presentation skills, messaging under pressure, leadership tone of voice, executive visibility and influence planning, and communicating confidence without overstatement. The goal is not performance, but credibility that holds.

Leaders leave with greater composure, clearer communication, and a presence that builds trust—especially when others are looking to them for reassurance and direction.

Keynote Speaker

Wilkinson Advisory delivers keynote talks for leadership teams, enterprise audiences, and offsite events where clarity, alignment, and confidence are essential. These talks are designed for moments when organizations need to make sense of change, reset leadership tone, or give people language for what they are experiencing.

Keynotes are typically delivered as 45–90 minute sessions and are tailored to the organization’s context, strategy, and audience. Preparation follows a structured process: stakeholder input, narrative development, message testing, and final delivery design. Content is grounded in real organizational dynamics, not generic motivation or platitudes.

Common themes include leading through uncertainty, communicating change with credibility, executive presence at scale, decision-making under pressure, and restoring trust and momentum during transition. Talks are direct, thoughtful, and practical—designed to resonate with senior leaders and employees alike.

Each keynote provides a shared narrative leaders can reference long after the event, reinforcing alignment and giving teams clear language to move forward together.
