Andy Shenstone to highlight communication strategies at Intersec, NEBOSH Day to feature insights on C-suite communication

Andy Shenstone, Chief Executive of NEBOSH, will deliver the opening seminar at NEBOSH Day during the 26th edition of Intersec, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre on 15 January 2025.

As reported by NEBOSH, Shenstone’s presentation will focus on strategies for effectively communicating with C-suite executives.

He will discuss the importance of aligning health and safety proposals with organisational missions, key performance indicators (KPIs), and strategic objectives to secure executive buy-in.

Key principles for engaging executive leadership

The seminar will outline essential steps for engaging with senior leadership.

This includes researching company objectives, crafting narratives that connect proposals to long-term goals, and tailoring messages to resonate with executive priorities.

Andy Shenstone shared his approach: “Answer the ‘so what?’. What is the proposal, why is it a good idea (evidence), what are the costs and what are the expected benefits?”

He emphasised avoiding jargon and ensuring health and safety proposals are accessible to non-specialists.

Practical strategies for presenting to the C-suite

Shenstone will also address the practical aspects of C-suite engagement, such as preparation, concise communication, and using data-driven insights effectively.

NEBOSH advises focusing on clear, evidence-based messaging that highlights solutions aligned with an organisation’s strategic vision.

Additionally, presenters are encouraged to conclude with actionable next steps to demonstrate a commitment to implementation.
