Introduction

Junior managers (supervisors and team leaders) may be well qualified and their technical knowledge and skills up-to-date, but what about their management skills?

Letter and Report Writing Skills

Introduction

Anyone who earns a living at a desk knows how important it is to have good writing skills. An excellent letter can secure a job interview or win a new customer. An ability to write clear, concise e-mails, memos and reports can underpin development and promotion. On the other hand, poor writing wastes time and costs money.

There has always been a need for clear communication in business. A poorly worded letter can cause confusion or leave a bad impression. A muddled memo may result in misunderstanding or lead to employee grievances.

Part of the challenge of clear writing is the nature of business communication. Business writing is often necessarily technical and complex. This kind of writing makes special demands on an author. A writer who has not yet learned to have sympathy for the reader is bound to create problems for themselves.

Perhaps writing ability is less important in today's high-tech world of computers and electronic data processing? Don't we now depend more on machines for precise, accurate communication? The experts say no - they maintain that good communication skills are more critical than ever. The spread of electronic communication makes better writing imperative, as well as an ability to write simple direct prose that is concise and precise.

This workshop provides practical help and guidance to develop these skills. It is important for all those who write on behalf of their employer to enhance the image of that employer. This one day fully interactive workshop will demonstrate how it can be done.

Workshop Objectives

Delegates who successfully complete this workshop will be able to:

• organise and structure documents logically to make them readable and easy to understand

• write English which is concise, accurate and readable

• use vocabulary, punctuation, tense and sentence construction to achieve the required style and tone of the document

Negotiation Skills

Introduction

We all negotiate with other people, often without realising we are doing it. Negotiation need not be formal, or even recognisable, but it happens anyway and we can either profit from it or not. In business transactions, negotiation can mean the difference between success and failure. Negotiation is expected; it is sometimes even built in to the other party’s stance or position on a subject.

Yet negotiating need not result in a winner and a loser. It is perfectly possible and often desirable that both sides gain a result that brings them back to the table next time. Creating the “win-win” situation can be a form of negotiating in itself. Sometimes people need to be led to the scenario that will actually benefit them as well as you.

Preparation, knowing the optimum bargaining position and when to hold your nerve are all part of the art of negotiation. Many people are daunted by these aspects, yet they need not be. This workshop will help delegates to enter the negotiating arena with confidence.

This is a one day workshop involving considerable delegate participation, and is aimed at anyone who needs to negotiate as part of their everyday job. This workshop should appeal to those who are not natural negotiators but often deal with those who are.

Workshop Objectives

Delegates who successfully complete this workshop will be able to: • describe the different types and styles of negotiation • plan and create the right environment for negotiating
