Strategic Business Communications for Marketers - Virtual

Seats are limited and confirmation of attendance will be required in advance of the session.

In today’s corporate environment, if you can communicate well, you are unstoppable. Unfortunately, effective internal communication – both inter-team and cross-functional – is not always the norm, and opportunities for value creation can be missed. Too many business leaders fail to understand that communication must be planned, and as a result risk their message being confusing – or worse, ignored.

This virtual workshop uses focused exercises to build skills and teach how to plan and clarify communication, for improved business results and/or creative outcomes. Participants will leave the training with a clear understanding of how to apply our step-by-step framework to improve their communication – in any form.

Learn to master this best practice framework, specifically in the execution of three essential internal communication formats: a presentation, an email, and an inter-departmental newsletter. These core communication pieces, when well crafted, invite others in our organizations to understand and respond to whatever story we invite them into. Once participants complete this program and execute on the principles, they will be understood, they will be interesting, and they will have a great deal of influence within and across their organization.
