Great communicators aren’t born, they’re made. This course is designed to turn academic communication into short, concise, and result-oriented business communication.
We start by introducing a communication tool box, which is first applied to business presentations. We use guided practice sessions in a relaxed atmosphere to develop confidence and individual style. Practice sessions are videoed for self-analysis.
Next, we reinforce and extend the learning process to other business areas, like writing and leading meetings. Attendees learn to convey their ideas and advance their projects. Also, they receive personal coaching to build their confidence, clarity, and charisma in their business communications. The course is provided in English.
