At SpeechComm, we value partnerships -- partnerships created within an organization through strong communication -- as well as the partnerships we forge with our clients. We believe that the partnerships we enter with our clients are based on three key attributes: Connections, Substance, and Implementation.
Within each of these key attributes, we zero in on perfecting the Three Essential E’s of Communication: Energy, Engagement and Exploration.
Whether or not your communication is effective is determined by the Energy you bring to a conversation or encounter. As we delve into the power of non-verbal cues, we undercover what a speaker’s Energy reveals about his or her emotional intelligence and their ability to really connect with an audience.
From there, we cover discuss the manner and nuance employed as you Engage with individuals and groups, being mindful of diction, using visual aids in ways the augment—and not overwhelm--a presentation, and how to best use physical space to maximize the impact of your presentation or conversation.
Finally, we explain how the effort you make—via thoughtful Exploration--to display curiosity and to fully understand the needs and wants of your audience can make the difference between a conversation that enlightens and inspires and simply delivering a talk.
We strengthen all of these critical communications components by employing the latest, most trusted, evidence-based research material, tools and techniques—all delivered and explained in a manner that results in greater confidence and the potential of immediate implementation for training session attendees.
Connections - Our trainers are passionate and enthusiastic about the skills they teach. They strive to make personal connections with your employees so that the workshop participants feel comfortable asking questions about the training material and the various techniques and approaches covered. We strive to ensure that all participants—from entry-level hires to CEOs--leave the training with a clear understanding of the material being taught so that they can apply those acquired skills in any workplace or outreach scenario.
Substance - Our training material is up-to-date, high quality, tested and proven. We make certain that the information taught in the session is instructional and adds value to a company’s communications objectives. We design workshops to teach practical solutions to the challenges and opportunities presented by real life workplace and client/customer scenarios.
Implementation - We believe that delivering training without supplying the tools necessary for implementation is like providing theory without providing useable tools. SpeechComm training sessions consist of exercises in which participants practice the skills demonstrated during the session. Our goal is that participants will be able to implement immediately the techniques learned during their training in their everyday interactions with co-workers, clients and customers, resulting in elevated levels of professionalism, stronger connections and measurable improvements in productivity. Our training covers the full range of communications methodologies practiced in the modern workplace and marketplace.
