"This was an exceptionally well-done workshop on a topic that I have heard and spoken about myself countless times in the past. Mr. Kirk's style was informative, humorous and easy-going.  I highly recommend this kind of training to other employees.  Nice job!"

"Great presentation and presenter.  Was looking for
a long boring day.  However, it ended up being fun!"

"I would recommend it to anyone!"

"We have been extremely pleased with the improvements we've made, as a result of your training, in our message develop-
ment and articulation. 
We've not only seen results in the consistency of message reported by press and analysts but we also have seen that people
within our organization have a better understanding of
our product positioning and strategy.  The techniques
we learned in your course have proven to be easy to employ and extremely effective."

Communication Skills for Leaders: Effective Communication
For Managers & Supervisors

For more details about this workshop click here.

Q: What's the first thing you learn in Effective Employee Communication 101?

A: Managers and supervisors are the most effective and most credible source of information for employees.

Q: 
So, what's the mainstay of every employee communication program?

A: Newsletters.

What's missing in this equation? How about the idea that most managers aren't naturally good at communication! These skills can be acquired through coaching and training.

Yet, for the serious employee communication professional, 
simply finding an affordable, effective training program for managers has been next to impossible. (That is, of course, until you found this Web site!)

As a companion to Managing Change: How to Plan and Implement an Effective Employee Communication Program. A Step-by-Step Guide for Managers I have developed an effective, involving and fun! all-day workshop for managers, Communication Skills for Leaders.

The workshop uses effective coaching and training techniques that give participants an opportunity to interact with the information presented in ways that help drive it home. 

Subjects are covered, through presentations, games, competitions and other exercises at least one 
involving mirrors.
 
Depending on your specific needs, the workshop can be modified to provide hands-on experience and coaching on specific needs your managers have
for example, preparing them to handle employee communication during a re-engineering program or handling employee communication when your company is involved in a crisis.

Executive Services
For special executive needs, I frequently provide personal coaching or customized workshop programs.   Recently, for example, I've worked with senior corporate executives to. . .

... prepare a group of five top officers for the public announcement of a major corporate restructuring;
... prepare a hospital CEO and Medical Director to handle media questions surrounding a hostile takeover bid by the hospital;
... train a small group of senior executives to handle routine media relations including print and broadcast interviews;
... prepare subject-matter experts to present at public hearings in controversial situations.

"Crisis Management Training" from the July 1997 Reader's Digest

What participants say:
"David was an excellent instructor.  He promoted introspection on some of the most basic tasks we often take for granted or 'should just know.' I feel I took a great deal of information from the presentation and hope it helps me to become a more effective communicator.  Great job!" 

"I have not  heard such positive response about a speaker since joining this organization three years ago.  Our meeting was held for two days after your presentation and everyone that attended had rave reviews about you and the material you covered."

"You are an excellent communicator, group trainer and facilitator! It's clear you have a passion for and live your profession. Thank you!"

"Speaker knew his audience well -- helped to make presentation effective.  He used all of his techniques.  Seeing it in action was the most helpful element of learning"

"An excellent, engaging presenter. Your obvious preparation made our day very valuable!"

"A very worthwhile experience!"
