Communicating In The Global Village(tm)
Communicating in the Global Village - Using Communication Technology Effectively Todays communication technology brings us together as never before, as forecast by Marshal McLuhans Global Village. But this electronic communication is still imperfect. It needs the human touch to realize its potential. Communicating in the Global Village examines what causes communication problems. Why and how the technology separates us, although apparently connecting us. This half- or one-day workshop provides strategies and solutions to meet these new challenges. It offers ways to communicate more effectively, using a combination of new and traditional communication technologies. This session assumes that e-mail is the number one electronic communication method used in the workplace. Managing e-mail therefore is a major focus. Please note: this session is not a writing-skills workshop but a strategy session on how to improve communication effectiveness and productivity using communication technology. Customized on-site training workshops available for your group.

Wavelengths(tm)
Wavelengths - Team Building through Better Communication Wavelengths concepts are based on research McLuhan & Davies conducted over the last ten years, advising various organizations on their communication needs. We developed the workshop to help participants truly understand the communication process, label its elements and measure its effectiveness. Anyone can use the concepts, professionally or personally. Our research shows that when we communicate, we do so in three distinct patterns. Recognizing these patterns and using them consciously allows you to more accurately achieve communication. Wavelengths also provides new ways to improve your listening skills, by showing you what to listen for when people communication in any of these patterns.
