Words are Powerful Things
It’s not just about what you say, but how you say it. Understanding words, their meanings and potential impacts can lead to more concise communication. You will discover how to use the right words to suit your audience and how to get your message across in the best possible way. [back]
Leadership Dialogue
In a world where access to information is just a mouse-click away, skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader's success. Like the game of golf, communication is a skill that must be learned, applied and practiced. Good golfers know which club to use, when to use it, and how to adjust their swing depending on the conditions. The same is true of good leaders. They must know what to say, when to say it, and how to shape their message and delivery for different audiences. Good communication can influence decision-making and the behaviour of people around you and help move an organization forward towards its goal. [back]
Public Speaking
Speaking in public is the number one fear - above even fears of financial ruin and death - but it’s an essential skill for any leader! Learn the tools to give appropriate, understandable, and dynamic speeches that provoke thought and action. Catch an audience and keep their attention for 10 minutes or an hour through tailored messages, the right words, engaging visuals and proper body language. We will show you how to address different audiences for various speaking platforms, maximizing any public speaking opportunity. [back]
Media Training
Dealing with the media is more than answering their questions. Media interviews are powerful opportunities to present your story in the current environment – whatever that may be – and the best possible light. Through our intensive media training seminar, you will discover how to develop the right messages, deal with media questions, when to call the media, and how to prepare for the camera. You’ll also learn about the various types of media and what they need from you to best tell your story. [back]
Fund Raising
When so much is at stake and competition for the dollars is strong, you better know what you are doing and have an approach that is right, the first time. Learn how to research the community, establish your goals and your case statement, position your cause and identify your supporters and communities of interest. [back]
Writing for Business
Good writing skills will always be a central ingredient to good communication whether it’s a letter, email, proposal, report, analysis, newsletter, news release, pamphlet, website or brochure. From what to include in a proposal to formatting a news release, we show you how to get your point across in a concise but compelling manner using the right tools available. [back]
Relationship Building
Managing any organization is about understanding a complex set of relationships, understanding the needs of various groups or individuals and finding ways to align their goals with the organization’s goals and culture. With different personalities, beliefs, goals and needs struggling to get through, we show you how to build and maintain relationships that will benefit everyone involved. [back]
CommOpp Statement Building
Success within an organization is often dependent on its members or employees identifying opportunities and challenges and building mini-plans for addressing them. Through a series of steps, an approach can be developed to maximize the opportunities available to an organization and facilitate them through strategic communication. [back]
Marketing Communication
A highly specialized field that draws on extensive research, uses
research as an essential tool and combines all the skills of the problem solver with the understanding of a seasoned counsellor. It's about moving goods and services to where they meet the need. More often it's about understanding the need first and then developing the market oriented solution. [back]
