How to get your message across
Communication, or lack of it, lies behind very many business problems,
customer complaints, disputes between colleagues or late projects.
A simple misunderstanding can add days to a project or even derail
it completely while employees’ morale, commitment and performance
is directly influenced by how well their companies communicate with
them. Every business will have its own example of the consequences
of inadequate communication whether it’s lost customers or
a missed investment. At the personal level, good communication skills
are vital to successful career progression and good relationships
with friends and colleagues.
In a recent review of the skills UK employees already have and
what is needed for the future to ensure the competitiveness of UK
business, communication skills were ranked the second most important*
and many people feel their communication skills could be better.
Communication can be difficult. It can be frustrating, worrying,
perplexing and time consuming. Making presentations, for example,
brings many people out in a cold sweat and writing a report or an
important letter can take much longer than necessary. But it needn’t
be like this…and we can help.
If you have ever been frustrated by a misunderstanding at home
or at work, got the wrong end of the stick in a conversation or
wished you could write like the professionals, our one-day, interactive
workshop is for you. By the end of the day you will be able to communicate
better in writing, on the phone and face to face. You will be able
to understand what colleagues and friends REALLY mean by picking
up the clues in their body language and you will know how to handle
difficult conversations with ease.
