Decoding Communication Style
Self Assessment

Discover your preferred communication style.

DID YOU KNOW?

Over 95% of communication is informal. Interestingly many training programs focus on the 5% of formal communication.

These workshops address these informal or unplanned situations, providing the skills you need to present, defend, and discuss a position persuasively and fast.

Our communication techniques are the foundation for all other skills: leading, speaking, writing, selling, and managing.

Christiane Rutledge

Learning Consultant, Meridian

The Skilled Presenter™ was a fabulous course that I would recommend to anyone involved with public speaking and presenting. The course provided me with a safe environment to learn new skills, do self-evaluation and implement my learnings. Since taking the course I have noticed an increase in my confidence, and, through that boost, I feel empowered to present in any situation where I am called upon!

Katie Millard

Senior Marketing Consultant, Advertising and Media, Intact Insurance

Think on Your Feet® provided me with the tools to confidently organize my presentations, emails and off-the-cuff Q&A responses to be more methodical and sound clearer to my audiences. The skills also transcend into my daily life too. Two days very well spent!
