Writing proper business-related documents in today’s workplace requires a solid understanding of the fundamentals behind how specific documents should be approached, designed and edited. Written communications in the workplace should be concise, yet thorough and well laid out.
Technology enabled communications (emails and texts) should also be well thought out and designed to get the correct message across, while avoiding any potential misinterpretation.
This newly designed course teaches how to create business documents in the modern workplace, which takes into account the many forms that modern communication can take and teaches participants how to best align their message with the appropriate documentation and device.

Sometimes we choose to avoid difficult conversations as they seem too hard, but unfortunately the problems remain unresolved. Other times we facilitate crucial conversations and wish we knew how to handle them better. Here’s the upside: there are well-tested communication strategies to swiftly turn dysfunctional situations into constructive conversations.
This engaging session is a great opportunity to learn how to guide and influence productive outcomes from difficult situations through a better understanding of human behaviours and with simple yet effective and powerful communication strategies.
