Getting Your Message Across
In any organization it’s critical to provide on-going training to employees on a variety of issues ranging from emerging ideas or products to dealing with social problems like sexual harassment or domestic violence in the workplace. Conducting an effective training requires special skills to convey the message your employees need to hear.
Paymar Communications Group has conducted hundreds of trainings nationally and internationally. We assists managers and administrators in developing trainings and communication skills rooted in adult education principles. Managers and administrators learn how to think strategically about a training or seminar, design an interesting agenda based on the target audience, deal with resistance, use a mix of interactive training methods and facilitate dialogue with the audience.
Barclays Global Investors:
“I’ve had the pleasure of following Jim for many years, from his broadcast experience on a prominent regional station in the San Francisco Bay Area, to his national experience on CNBC. I hired Jim for media training when Barclays was poised to launch it’s aggressive foray into the ETF business. Jim’s approach to training our executives was very effective – providing the right balance between authenticity of what to anticipate and confidence-building to make sure that executives understood and delivered the key messages that were needed. I would highly recommend Jim for media training given the depth of his business experience and his effectiveness with senior executives.”
