If you need a boost with your strategy, your focus, your narrative or your campaign I can help. I have held a variety of positions within the Conservative Party including Association Chairman and have seen or been involved with hundreds of selections and a large number of campaigns.
Specific areas where I can help:
- speeches - content and delivery
- question handling and preparation
- associations and campaign teams
- fund-raising and media
- grass-roots campaigns
- personal branding based on substance. (I don't do spin - if you are boring, you are boring!) The good people who enter politics for more than personal ego building are generally far more interesting than they at first think!
I also have an outstanding and trusted team of freelancers who can help you with:
- seat research
- literature creation and printing
- websites
The Prime Minister of Sri Lanka
I spent 10 days polishing and streamlining the Prime Minister's speech for the United Nations in 2003 and working on his delivery. On his return to Sri Lanka, The Prime Minister took over 8 hours to complete the 30 km drive from Bandaranaike International Airport to the capital Colombo due to the crowds who had come out to greet him.
According to www.globalsecurity.org
"Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has returned to a hero's welcome in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo. Tens of thousands lined the streets outside the airport to celebrate the return of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. Swarmed by officials and supporters at the airport...."
Conservative Party
Initially retained by the Conservative Party to develop a Getting Selected Training course in 2002/2003, I have worked with literally hundreds and hundreds of prospective candidates in these group sessions as well as with many candidates on a 1-2-1 basis.
My role is far more than that of a detached presentation trainer. I help you identify your USP, your strengths and your "voice" or brand as well as formulating your message and mapping your strategy.
In this very competitive field, many say that they enjoy having an impartial friend and critic on their side, who understands the Party, campaigns and strategy.
60 of the 81 of my 1-2-1 clients were selected as candidates for parliamentary seats in 2005. Over 100 current candidates have been through some or all of the MessageCraft® process and at least 50 are in winnable seats.
