Cleverly designed, this business communications class helps technical, sales and business people sharpen their skills. Great communicators aren’t born, they’re made. While their speeches and documents look effortless, preparations and practice are behind every great communicator.
Your team will be introduced to practical business communication tools and techniques, which are first applied to presentations and public speaking. With their colleagues, they’ll practice presenting in a supportive team-building atmosphere. We’ll video the presenting practice sessions for self-analysis and individual development. Then, we’ll extend the same communication rules to emails and meetings. This cumulative approach is reinforcing and practical.
This course is tailored to your needs, provided in English, and available throughout Switzerland.
