Oral Briefings

Today’s executives and senior managers are increasingly time constrained and pulled in different directions, with multiple issues competing for their attention. As a result, they may only have a few minutes in which to be briefed orally by staff. While this can be challenging for staff, successful briefings are achievable.

This engaging, hands-on workshop will enhance your knowledge of how to deliver an effective oral briefing. You’ll have multiple opportunities to deliver oral briefings and receive feedback from the trainers and your fellow participants on both your verbal and non-verbal communication.  You’ll leave with concrete tools and increased confidence in your ability to brief senior management.
