The Art of Communication – Steve Knight

Description

The Art of Communication, incorporating Voice is Power™, is an experiential and highly practical system that enables you to make dynamic and ground-breaking changes to the way you communicate through the power of your voice, your body language and the clarity of your message. It allows you to become consciously aware of who you are as a person, who you are as a leader, your sense of purpose and the impact of your presence. It will give you the mindset and discipline to continually develop to be the best communicator and natural leader you can be.

Great leadership and communication skills are no longer a nice to have; they are absolutely vital. The Art of Communication enables you to discover your true potential in natural leadership, so that when you…

* Present your long term vision to large groups
* Deliver your key message to a team, to the board or to stakeholders
* Pitch to potential clients for that important contract
* Manage crucial conversations
* Launch a new product or service
* Face the media…

… Your message will be clear and concise. You will deliver with confidence, style and passion. As a result, your influence will grow and you will inspire others to achieve goals faster, more effectively and with higher motivation.

We are increasingly working in a global environment and in multinational teams where the working language is English. If English is not your native tongue (and even if it is!) Voice is Power™ will coach you on how to deliver your message with clarity, minimising the risk of some words not being clearly understood in a multinational setting.
