Change is one of the few guarantees in life and therefore also in business. Never has this been more accurate than at the present time.

While organisations face change to adjust to internal or external forces, people often resist the sense of uncertainty and fear loss of control. Communicating change effectively, the reason behind it, the goals and the benefits, is critical to the success of any change initiative.         

A good strategy brings coherence to what an organisation does. Business communicators must convert strategic ideas into everyday meaning that is clearly understood and motivates employees. You need to understand what strategy is and how it functions to do this effectively. It takes skill to convert often abstract strategic ideas into clear messages that are re-enforced constantly. You need the skill to develop a comms. Strategy that mirrors and amplifies your organisation’s strategic intent. You need the skill to put this into practice. This two-day virtual course will give you the knowledge and skills to steer through the strategic maze to deliver clear, concise and strategic communications.

Understanding others is the key to influencing and building trust - both critical components in the successful IC professional’s toolbox.

Our ability to communicate to our teams internally – as well as our clients externally – has never been so important! Video content is now essential in corporate communications but creating GREAT content is not easy. The visual sense is one of the most powerful senses we possess - we use it from when we’re born till we die. The visual image engages and stimulates emotions in the human brain, it’s why we look at a Rembrandt or take a selfie! But like the great artists of the past we need skill and technique to engage our viewers, so they remember our visual images days and weeks later.
