Description

Today, more than ever, print and electronic messages need to stand out from an overwhelming amount of information that audiences are exposed to daily. Written correspondence and presentations need to be concise, to-the-point and, most importantly, engaging.

This workshop introduces participants to fundamental theories and practices of communication in today’s demanding and ever-changing workplace. It is designed to help participants develop stronger written, verbal and presentation skills to excel in the workplace.
