Clearly and confidently share your insights and analyses
View session datesIn business, your best idea is only as good as your ability to effectively share it with others.
Strong technical analyses, breakthrough insights and sound strategic decisions risk being undervalued, misinterpreted or worse yet — ignored — if they are not clearly and convincingly presented to key stakeholders.
The complexity of ongoing innovations in analytics, digitization and artificial intelligence have driven the need for businesses to think differently and adapt quickly. Success ultimately depends on ensuring that your organization's employees have the communication skills to take advantage of the changing world of business so that information flows clearly and seamlessly between them and the outside world. Absence of either needlessly costs your firm money and damages stakeholder engagement at every level.
Communicating with Impact is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to confidently share your insights, analyses and recommendations with diverse audiences both inside and outside your organization.

“This is an excellent program. I work in communications and prepare and advise spokespersons and found all the content to be relevant and practical. I was able to immediately put into practice many of the notions and highly recommend this course for beginners or seasoned communicators alike. I also appreciated the video exercises in order to obtain candid feedback to identify things I do well and things I need to work on in a safe space.”
