As a business professional, you should ensure that the ideas you communicate come across the way you intend. Your ability to craft and convey clear and concise messages with impact will reveal your level of expertise and professionalism to the people you work with.

At a practical level, your path to promotion may depend on how well you can:

• present new ideas to your manager or at headquarters;
• describe how your product can meet the needs of your customers;
• solve complex problems quickly with partners or suppliers.

What's unique about this seminar:

This seminar uses a targeted training approach not found in other organizations that are primarily geared towards language skills. This is because difficulties Korean professionals face are most often not related to English proficiency.

In this seminar, participants gain practical tips to identify their point, strengthen it and deliver it

• Briefly – to say it in fewer words
• Clearly – to get their point across easily
• Logically – to explain their position well.

Target:



Any professional working with non-Korean managers or those communicating with colleagues at headquarters, overseas partners or clients.

Participants should have an intermediate or above level of English to take full advantage of the seminar's interactivity.
