Communications skills training – your return on investment

Speaking and presenting with clarity and expressing your ideas at conferences, seminars, pitches and committee meetings is a crucial skill.

Public affairs professionals who communicate clearly and to the point make a noticeable impact with clients, members and policy makers. Investing in their communications boosts their reputation and your organisation’s standing. Our training is also about shaping future leaders by learning how to influence decisions with excellent communications skills.

We all need to be able to do these and not everyone has had time to develop these skills. These days people have to work so hard and under such pressure that it is difficult to have time reflect on these softer skills that enable everyone to look the part.

What to expect in the training

Using learner centered training, we introduce ideas about effective management and communication techniques and then encourage learners to discover the rules and practise techniques and their skills.

The principle of learner centred training is that people learn best by doing, not by listening. People learn new skills and competencies when they are involved in solving problems and working out the answers with help from the trainer.

You can expect to take part in lots of group activities such as brainstorming, mini-presentations, problem solving tasks. We will then develop easy-to-remember checklists on effective management and communication techniques.
