Description
Sending an email plagued with typos. Rushing through a presentation. Never saying “no.” Under-dressing for a company event. What do these all have in common? Bad messaging.
The Communication Clinic is a
comprehensive, commonsense guide to getting the job of your dreams and
presenting yourself in the best light through your writing, speaking, body
language, and overall appearance. In no time, you’ll begin recognizing the
subtle mistakes that are holding you back, and taking steps to overcome them.
The Communication Clinic provides the proven prescription for:
• Writing effective emails
•
Developing a professional presence
• Mastering verbal and nonverbal
communication
• Using social media for career success
• Designing and
delivering powerful presentations
• Being assertive (but not aggressive) in
person and online
• Managing conflict
Business interactions are
increasingly done over digital platforms and across traditional boundaries.
Never has clear communication been more critical. Unskilled communicators can
create awkward situations, negatively affect business profitability, and even
end their own careers with a few poorly chosen keystrokes.
Consult The Communication Clinic and you’ll show everyone that you understand your job, that you care about your career, and that you work well with others —all of which come across loud and clear through effective communication.
