A: The principles of marketing leadership are universal. The company specifics will then come through the questions and discussion during the two sessions.

Q: Do you offer follow up sessions and programs?
A: If you believe, after the session, deepening the content would make for significant impact within your team, Thomas will be happy to discuss options with you.

Q: How will you organize the sessions–technically?
A: Thomas and Paddy will moderate the session and provide short pre-session exercises for your team. All you have to do is manage the invitations on your end and host the session, using your preferred company voice or video conferencing system.

Q: What are the exact steps we need to take after confirming?
A: It might be easiest to ask a senior PA or team assistant to organize the session. The specific steps are:

• Purchase 100 or more 12 Powers books and send us the confirmation.
• Schedule a 90-minute voice or video conference with Thomas/Paddy and your team, titled: “The 12 Powers of a Marketing Leader Training Session – Mobilizing your Boss and Colleagues”
• Once your team members have the book, and 2 weeks ahead of the session, Thomas or Paddy will send you a suggested email for your team, detailing the session-content and a suggested pre-reading.
• After the session, Thomas or Paddy will follow up with an email and further suggested exercises for your team.
