COMMUNICATION &
PRESENTATION SKILLS

Public Speaking

You usually get what you ask for - and your
presentation skills are the tools and means to get
what you want. From project meetings to customer
calls to executive interactions to board and
shareholder conferences, success rarely rests on the
message itself. It is not just what you say but how
you say it. It is the skill with which the message is
delivered.

Business Etiquette

The art of portraying a poised, self-confident image in
today's demanding business atmosphere is a skill that is
much too often overlooked by many professionals, but not
by those observing and making critical judgments based
upon the person’s communication. Although a large part of
the successful image comes from knowing your particular
business, an even greater part comes from knowing the
basics of good manners. Good manners include everything
from building good relationships and being gracious in
social situations to dressing appropriately for any business
setting.

Negotiations Training

We all negotiate every single day - at home, at
work, and in the grocery line. Yet, despite this
constant practice, 68% of us are anxious about
negotiating and 86% of us want to become better
negotiators.
Learn to negotiate for what you need while
strengthening relationships with customers,
colleagues, and even friends and family members

associated activities

Discover best management practices for delegating,
planning projects, and running effective meetings

Enhancing Your Professional Image

Building and maintaining a professional image is not
just about doing good work; it also involves presenting
yourself with poise, maturity, and good business and
social etiquette. Offending - or even just failing to
impress - a client, a boss, or business partner can be
disastrous for your career prospects.
This workshop will reinforce the essentials of etiquette,
including rules for phone conversations, texting, and
email; take some of the guesswork out of personal
interactions; and even prepare you to handle the
niceties of business-related social events like dining and
entertainment.
