Why a Communicate or Die workshop?

• If 1,000 people work for a company, each earns
  30/hour and each spends 1 hour/day gossiping at
  the water cooler, the company loses 62 million a
  year.
• From post-merger pains to divorces, from employee
  burnout to brain-drain, from infighting to
  lawsuits, bad communication costs millions and
  great communication gets great results.

• But few managers ever learn to communicate, let
  alone listen, effectively.
• Speaking and listening are hard to quantify, but
  investing in your peoples communication
  skill-set might be the most cost-effective
  investment you can make.

What have participants said aboutour workshops?

• Swiss Consulting Group is far more effective and
  is of far greater value for money... Many one day
  or two day courses fire you up but do not put in
  place any back up system to let you channel your
  new enthusiasm once you are back in the office.
  Swiss Consulting Group has a very different
  approach which is far more inspiring and supports
  you long term. (Director of Development of a
  public-service media company)
• You were standing in our success as though it
  were your own. It is safe to say that without
  your input we would not be facing what we all now
  see as an extraordinarily bright future. (A
  medium-sized Australian software development
  company)
• The essence of coaching is awareness of myself.
  I broke through the basic rules that I had
  imposed on myself. (President and Managing
  Director of a second-tier multinational energy
  company)

  Advisor and Team Leader on HIV/AIDS UNDP)
