However talented you are
and how ever good at your job you are, you will not be able to achieve
very much unless you can deliver your message and yourself effectively. In
this course, firstly we look at the process of delivering an effective oral
presentation. Related to this skill is the skill of running effective
meetings and of interacting with your work colleagues. Meetings are
obviously important features of organisational life. You learn more about
these skills in this unit. Finally we bring together all these
communication skills that you will need in your business life to develop
your own personal skills of self-presentation in an interview situation
and through your curriculum vitae. We also identify the features and
importance of an organisation’s culture as this affects all
communication within it and your approach to it.Course Content
