1 - 1.5 CPE There are seven key approaches to ensuring that your message is clear, concise, reaches its target audience, has its desired impact, builds your reputation, represents the passion you bring to the situation, and connects you with your audience. These approaches also have the added value of reducing anxiety of speaking in public, helping remove “writer’s block,” and helping you efficiently communicate and build trust.
Communication is now central in this age of social media where there is so much communication that most of it gets lost in the “noise” that is out there. Short, effective emails must be the standard in the future, but even those will be replaced by shorter text messages.
This course also covers how to give directions so they are followed and how to get your message through the right channels so they are most effective. Every manager, CEO, accountant, nonprofit leader, and consultant always needs to improve how they communicate. This course provides some key tools to help achieve these goals.
Learning Objectives
- Explore how to build trust and relationships through communication.
- Identify what is holding you back from being a more effective communicator.
- Discover what other people are looking for in communication.
- Recognize whether your communication has been successful in obtaining the result you wanted from the communication.

This course provided a great overview for anyone in the workplace who is looking to enhance the effectiveness of their communication and presentation skills, particularly when the stakes are high. The instructor effectively presented key concepts as well as sharing a multitude of tips, tricks, and best practices to consider when refining these skills. The supporting materials were helpful and reiterated key concepts covered in this course. Nicely done!

This was one of the best courses I have taken on Illumeo. The presenter does an amazing job of delivering the information because he is an expert in the subject and very experienced in communication and presenting. I am looking forward to applying the skills in this presentation in my job and with my team.

I absolutely love this instructor. The content is so relevant to what is happening in business and the world right now. Finally an intructor that is cutting edge and not teaching us the same ting we could have learned 10 years ago.

I loved the two-way aspect of communication. It does take a lot of preparation and organization to communicate effectively. However, it also takes confidence in your own credibility and humility to really succeed. Great course.

I believe younger people and those who lack experience with public speaking would greatly benefit from this. Learning about listening and understanding the audience is what can separate decent public speakers from the great ones.

Very enlightening. I particularly enjoyed the sections about building trust with the audience, the Psychodynamic concept, the leadership model, and the focus on requesting feedback for continuous improvement. Well done!

This instructor does a great job covering and reminding us that communication is not necessarily what we give but is the message and information that others receive and that we should seek to know our audience.

I am confused about whom this presentation was designed to benefit. There were a few good points among many details that did not seem relevant to improving my own communications and presentations.

The presenter gave commonsense practices for communicating and giving presentations. Besides a few stories, most of this training could be gained by just briefly reviewing the slide deck.

Excellent content and presenter. He brought up things I had not thought of before, including the communication being what is perceived by the audience, not just the message given. Thanks!

I think the course concentrated on the communications part rather than the presentation part but all points were relevant in addressing issues with an audience.

I liked the realism of the presenter. I think this course would benefit people who have minimal to no experience presenting information to any size group.

Puts the communication definition on its underbelly meaning it is a lot different than you expect. Listen more than speaking.
