Description
Communication 501: Fundamentals of Business Communication
The most successful people in business can clearly and concisely share complex technical concepts with anyone. They run large firms. They are venture capitalists. they make a ton of money in investment banking and private equity. They are "thought leaders." They have no fear of public speaking. They know how to communicate effectively and they are usually quite wealthy. You can be that person.
Here is where it all starts. This course is made by technical people for technical people.
Before you can "wow" them, before you can present the fancy graphics, before you become a dazzling speaker, you must learn the fundamentals. You need effective communication skills. For those of you who are American football fans, it would be like trying to execute a complex defense before you know how to block and tackle.
This course has no abstract theory and fluffy-feel-good-foolishness. We provide tools an a structure you can use immediately.
In this short seminar we present a simple, robust STRUCTURE that we use all the time for our presentations, seminars and especially emails to senior leaders. For those of you who are technical people (like the staff at Communication for Geeks®) and not authors, this structure provides a very robust "crutch" that will help you be clear, organized and extremely effective.
Like you, we come from technical backgrounds, so we decided to use an example from our past. Throughout this seminar, we'll use a real example of how to communicate highly technical information to non-technical people. We will show you how to "put it in terms that are important to the listener."
(And yes, you can self-report one PDU for your PMP® continuing education.)
Who this course is for:
- This course is for anyone who's job involves analyzing or presenting technical concepts.
- This course is designed for technical specialists. Engineers, app developers, biochemists, statisticians and anyone else who has a technical background.
- We have no abstract theory and fluffy-feel-good-foolishness. We provide tools and structures you can use immediately.
- SOFT SKILLS MATTER! You don't need "touchy-feely," but you do need to clearly communicate your best work.

Do you want to build a great career? You MUST be able to communicate!
When senior executives are asked what technical people can do to advance their careers, the answer is quite consistent: Improve communication skills. Effective communication skills in the workplace are essential for every engineer, programmer, developer, statistician or biochemst, microbiologist....
I come from a technical background, and in my 15 years of management consulting, I've had the privilege of managing large groups of technically brilliant people. I've seen the career challenges you're seeing both as a young "techie," and also as a consultant and project manager. Learn some "Tools for Techies," and you'll be on your way to success.
