Sound
Similar to the way music producers work with artists, Alderson collaborates with leaders to find and express their singular “sound” – their authentic voice and communication style. Working directly with individuals, Alderson focuses on the resonance and coherence of their own and their organizations’ unfolding public stories in pursuit of a well articulated vision.
VISION
Alderson believes that the most persuasive communication is rooted in a vision for progress. It should have a clear rationale that draws a connection between the issue of the moment and a meaningful purpose that speaks directly to shared values and cares, elevating the discussion for both the leader and the audience.
