Communication Training
If you are seeking to develop new or heightened communication skills in a specific area for example: presenting (see below) or contributing to meetings/discussions, LABtokyo’s training will improve and augment your existing skills helping you become a more confident, accomplished and engaging communicator.
Presentation Training (example course contents and objectives)
Typical sessions will cover:
planning, structuring and designing the presentation
presenting engagingly with authority and passion
building confidence and gaining audience trust
organisational, social and cultural challenges to presenting
designing and using visuals with maximum effect and minimum distraction
presenter/audience interactions
because a great presenter’s objectives should always be to:
make themselves the focus of the presentation
be able to reduce visual material to the essential elements for maximum impact and minimum distraction
present complex information in simpler, more meaningful and memorable ways
engage the audience from start to finish
present passionately in a confident and compelling manner
place a higher value on what the audience needs to hear than on what the presenter wants to say.
How long are the courses?
There is no fixed duration as these are typically designed once we understand your needs. Previously we have run courses over a minimum of three hours in a one off session to a current maximum of 36 hours at one hour per week.
We value flexibility and customisation above all else and always try to meet you at least twice prior to starting the course to discuss needs, present solutions and to propose how we can design the best course to suit your particular needs.
Communication Coaching
Coaching will help you if you are already a successful communicator but, are aware of distinct areas in which you could improve, for example: speaking with more passion and authority, engaging the audience with more analogy and story-telling or using humour more to connect with audiences.
Communication Coaching also helps people who have specific communicative objectives/challenges for example: preparing for an upcoming presentation to an international audience or speech at an overseas conference, to write an academic paper for an international publication or to contribute to regular international video meetings.
With Communication Coaching we work collaboratively with you to identify and address issues where there is desire or need for improvement and then to implement a coaching programme, over an agreed time-frame, which addresses your needs and objectives.
