Why Choose this Training Course?
To be effective modern managers must keep up to date with current global trends, embrace the development of new information and communication technologies, and practice direct communication with their employees, customers and stakeholders. Managers responsible for a team know that the one of their most important tasks is to motivate their subordinates: - to inspire, inform and engage with them and when required, persuade them to take action. With the availability of information now accessible through online technology, managers presenting face-to-face and online require even greater skills to hold the interest and attention of their frequently multicultural audiences. Effective leaders and managers know that their presentation skills are critical to the success of any group endeavour.
