​Effective Communication Skills

This is for those who have big plans and want to improve their persuation skills. In this workshop or webinar, you will learn the communication skills that you can apply to all your future projects.

I really enjoyed the workshop today with Harris. He did a really good job to help me get to the point of what the audience needs to hear about what I do and who I am. So, I really recommend the workshop. Manon Locas

Today, we learned from Harris Gaffin that it doesn’t matter how much information you have, if your not connecting with your audience, then you’re really not serving the purpose. That was the most important thing: connecting with the audience. ​Don Wells

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS FEATURES
​
The workshop is designed to fit any time period or any size group. Each workshop is divided into four parts:

1. Lecture
2. Writing
3. Speaking
4. Evaluating

1.Lecture. After a brief introduction explaining what students will learn, we cover a number of tips on organizing, writing and speaking. All of the tips are easy to remember.

2.Writing. Students will get work outlining and writing their speech. However, memorizing is kept to minimum. They will be trained in how to remember the key points of their message.

3.Speaking. Each student will have a chance to tell their story-without notes. The techniques covered make it easy to do. Speaking forces to students to communicate their thoughts.

4.Evaluating. Depending on the time available, we review highlights of the speeches and how they could be improved. We also review what students learned and how it affected their communication skills.
