Our courses in communication and public speaking empower individuals to communicate effectively with confidence for interviews, board meetings, interactions at work, address public gatherings, ensuring that what they are trying to communicate is what is perceived.
The unique feature of our courses is that it is based on acknowledging that effective communication and discussing requires good neurocognitive skills particularly clarity of thinking, increased awareness and stress management together with excellent analysis/understanding of information and being perceptive to but not unduly influenced by the opposing idea. Finally good communication necessitates respect for the audience together with self-confidence and belief in the accuracy of the facts one is presenting. We focus on all these aspects.

It then builds upon these using training in Cognitive reasoning, Logic, Problem solving, oracy, literacy and numeracy skills, clarity of thinking, analytical reasoning and then communication of ideas and processes based upon fact and logic. We run this programme for executives and students at different levels.
