For any organization to be successful, effective and inclusive communication must be at the heart of team building, customer service, conflict management, and more. With the right strategies and daily practices in place, you can establish a workplace culture in which employees communicate with clarity and respect to work effectively and efficiently in their teams. This course teaches the necessary skills for impactful, intentional workplace communication, like active listening; communicating clearly to avoid confusion; using appropriate, positive body language; and keeping your composure in every situation. Our ‘Communicating in the Workplace’ training module concentrates on methods to advance those vital skills in order to improve and maintain a healthy culture that unlocks workplace excellence for teams, individuals, and organizations.

Media can be a powerful partner in promoting your message and brand, so you want to be prepared when they call. To be an effective interviewee and avoid potential mistakes, you need to understand how media works and how to be a clear, concise, authentic, and inclusive communicator. In this training, you will learn best practices for inclusive and effective communication from one of your Certified Diversity Executives and experts. Whether you’re preparing for time with the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Businessweek, or the local media, we’ll help prepare you for every opportunity to showcase both yourself and your organization. This foundational training offers realistic, on-camera interviews with immediate feedback on presentation details, message development, rules of engagement, the interviewee’s Bill of Rights, and crisis communication training.

It takes only one second for your audience to make unconscious biases about your body language, physical appearance, vocal delivery, and emessage. Perhaps that’s why glossophobia, or fear of public speaking, affects nearly 75% of the population. To help you reach your highest potential, we offer group and individual workshops that teach you how to deliver your message powerfully, professionally, and with cultural competency in mind. Facilitated by one of our certified diversity experts, what makes our training so effective is that you’ll see yourself on camera and in action, learn to understand your strengths and skill gaps, then immediately put your learning into practice as you become an authentic and confident presenter.

For many professionals, career advancement depends on aligning your internal and external self-awareness. Do you have executive presence? How do you define it, and how do you develop it? These are factors that future-ready leaders must consider for optimal impact. This course incorporates DEI best practices including inclusive language and accessibility. How do others already view you? And does their vision align with how you view yourself? Becoming more culturally competent will make you a more confident leader.
