A 1-day Customised Strategic Turn-around Session

Capsule Presentations & Business Writing Course

At this Juncture Vs. At this Junction….

Communication is critical to the success of any organisation. Like the circulatory system of the body, it’s the connection between all the different parts of an organisation; leaders and constituents, suppliers and distributors, officers and customers. Whether it’s a face-to-face conversation or a professionally written e-mail exchange, a meaningful message entails establishing a connection that leaves a powerful impression.

In our fast-paced world, being able to quickly connect with, engage and pass one’s message across to the audience is a strong measure of success whether running a business, managing a team, liaising with clients or making a sales pitch. We can do this well or we can do this badly, either way the outcome strongly affects the way that people will perceive us and this is why communication & presentation skills are necessary tools as one climbs the ladder to the top.

The Capsule Presentations & Business Writing Course is a ‘quick fix’ solution to improving the Business Communication Skills of staff members. All modules structured to be participative and interactive, are tailored to reflect the needs of the participants. To foster swift learning, there will be pairing & group work, games, processes and exercises designed to stimulate, challenge and develop people’s knowledge and skills.
