No matter what university degrees your team possesses, it’s unlikely that etiquette or professional presence training was part of the curriculum. Skills like posture, speech and articulation are rarely taught at home these days either – which means that many people join the workforce lacking the confidence to engage with others in a professional context.
As a result, we can miss opportunities, miscommunicate, or just plain miss the mark.
We offer a range of workshops, all of which are tailored to your needs however we recommend starting with the ‘Professional Presence Training Masterclass’, before moving on to more specialised subjects.
