Training

The work of high-tech professionals in the modern world is characterized by an unprecedented need for world-class communication skills. More than ever before, employees are expected to be team players. They are required to summarize procedures, document issues, deliver updates, request funding, and participate in cross functional teams. Managers need to inform, persuade and motivate. Executives rely on their people to keep them up to date so that they can make the tough decisions.

Gone are the days of the solitary engineer toiling privately on creative endeavors. Now everyone needs to communicate—and communicate well.

Language By Design targets the skills needed to deliver clear, concise messages. We work with our clients to design training solutions that help people succeed in collaborative work environments, and also get along well with their peers, management, and customers.

LOGISTICS

Our programs take place at the client’s site. Generally, a conference or training room is reserved for the program.

Timing of our seminars and coaching varies depending on needs and objectives, but usually programs take place over several weeks to allow for mastery of skills. One and two-day and workshops are another option.

PARTICIPANTS

Participants in our programs are individuals at all levels of an organization. They include front-line workers, professionals, managers, and executives. While many of our participants are foreign born (non-native English speakers), we also work with native speakers and multilingual groups.
