Success in your career or growing your business relies on your “people skills” as much if not more than your technical knowledge. And making a powerful and positive impression involves certain basics of communication and relationship building that need to be consciously learned. Discover the sometimes intangible but always easily learnable secrets to your future business success.
Part 1: Presentation Skills
You don’t need to be a professional public speaker to utilize business communication skills. Everyone in every kind of career is called on to persuade, present and perform, whether or not you’ve realized it. Learn how your phrasing, body language and engagement of those you are speaking to make such a difference.
Part 2: Building a Powerful Network
As the old saying goes, “It’s not what you know but who you know.” Find out how to make effective connections and build a truly powerful network so you can develop opportunities for business and career growth.
