The Power of Communication
Clear, confident and assertive communication is an essential skill for us all.
Particularly when you are a business leader who needs to inspire team members and reach new customers, or a senior manager who needs to motivate and lead their teams.
Unfortunately, speaking with confidence and conviction doesn’t come naturally to most people. In fact, fear of public speaking is the most common phobia ahead of death, spiders or heaights. The National Institure of Mental Health reports that public speaking anxiety - or “glossobia", affects around 50% of the population.
Public speaking and communication skills are non longer optional in your professional life.
The growing prominence of video conferencing means even working from home requires ongoing presenting skills. It’s an essential business skill that needs to be learned and practised just like any other skill. Many job interviews, especially at senior level, now require a presentation to an interview panel. For business owners, being able to effectively present, communicate a key message, have a persuasive sales conversation, win the trust of investors or partners is the foundation of growing a strong sustainable business.
The programmes we've devised here at PowerVox aim to give you the know-how, confidence and skills to communicate more effectively and with more impact in many situations, including:
- Delivering presentations and speeches
- Networking and when attending conferences and trade shows
- Delivering elevator pitches and summary information about products, services, factual situations
- Impromptu and unplanned opportunities to deliver a persuasive response to questions
- Inspiring and motivating the people around you
- Communication of values, intentions, brand message
- Team briefings or dealing with customers or suppliers
- Providing content on social media or for corporate videos
- Sales conversations, whether pitching products and services or selling yourself and your unique skills and strengths
Through our training, we set you tasks and accountability goals - and in our group programmes you get to spend time with a range of other people from diverse backgrounds and businesses who share the same desire to upskill and improve. An amazing opportunity to be in the room with other inspiring ambitious business leaders and who knows what collaborations or partnerships could blossom and grow from that day!
