BC Centre for Disease Control - Communicating with Impact Program

In business, your best idea is only as good as your ability to effectively share it with others. Strong technical analyses, breakthrough insights and sound strategic decisions risk being undervalued, misinterpreted or worse yet — ignored — if they are not clearly and convincingly communicated to key stakeholders. The complexity of ongoing innovations in analytics, digitization, and artificial intelligence has driven the need for businesses to think differently and adapt quickly. Success ultimately depends on ensuring that your organization's employees have the technical skills to take advantage of the changing world of business, so that information flows clearly and seamlessly between them and the outside world. Absence of either needlessly costs your organization money and damages stakeholder engagement at every level. This program is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to confidently share their insights, ideas, analyses and recommendations with diverse audiences, both inside and outside of the organization. During this program, participants will learn to: - Connect with their audience authentically on a logical and emotional level - Develop confidence in their ability to manage nerves and overcome anxiety when speaking in front of others - Improve their personal leadership capacity with improved communication style - Establish trust and credibility with new and known audiences - Use practical frameworks to best organize content and cater to target audiences, including senior leaders, advisory boards, and prospective clients - Deliver presentations that engage, inform and motivate others - Understand the impact of voice and body language on how a message is received - Select the presentation content, structure and format that best aligns with the target audience
