Effective communication is the single most important skill any business person must master if they are to survive. It is also the joint most important activity of any organisation, alongside it's sister discipline, Marketing.
Do not underestimate how powerful a tightly focused and accurately directed communication can be. Contact me now.
"Effective communication needs to be built around this simple foundation and realization: communication is a dialogue, not a monologue. In fact, communication is more concerned with a dual listening process."
Dr. Heinz Goldmann, Chair, Heinz Goldmann International Foundation for Executive Communications, Geneva.
"It is vital for the success of our companies that businessmen and women emerge as real leaders and demonstrate their ability to communicate effectively, internally and externally."
Sir Colin Marshall, chairman, British Airways
"Communication in stressful change situations requires sustained and extensive interpretation and reinforcement. Competent, high-trust firms are in a position to communicate the same basic messages to all levels, from middle management to shop floor, with nothing left out on the grounds that those below would not understand it."
Tony Eccles, London Business School
"No manager can be effective in his job unless he is able to communicate. It is the most essential single skill. I hope that managers everywhere will seek to improve their ability, for it is one that can be learned."
Sir John Harvey-Jones, former chairman ICI and renowned European 'troubleshooter'
