Mark Butz  


Effective communication lies at the heart of performance for individuals, groups and organisations,
enhancing many facets of everyday life and working life, including:
  • Interpersonal relationships
  • Client/customer relations
  • Team effectiveness
  • Marketing communication
  • Written communication
  • Consultation and engagement
  • Conflict resolution
  • Giving/receiving constructive feedback
  • Problem solving 
  • Reputation management
  • Creative conversations
  • Powerful presentations
  • Productive meetings
  • Persuasion and influence
  • Negotiation and mediation
  • Networking
      
 
Perhaps it is because of the vital role played by communication that we can identify so many barriers to its effectiveness, including examples such as:
  • Language inappropriate to the audience
  • Perceptual biases
  • Ambiguity or imprecision
  • Cultural differences
  • Inconsistency 
  • Interpersonal relationships
  • Poor structure, flow and style
  • Mistrust and 'bad experiences'
  • Dull or unimaginative presentation
  • Assumptions which remain unaddressed
  • Poor research, inaccuracy
  • Poor finish and editing
 
We can assist our clients to address all of these barriers.
