Training - to communicate effectively in a crowded Information Age

The Information Age has enabled everyone to 'communicate' with everyone else. So much so that it is easy for your messages to get lost - it's a very crowded Information Age. Fleet Street Flair will help you ensure that your messages stand out from the crowd and that you really do communicate.

Fleet Street Flair's training is primarily aimed at investment banks and brokers in the City of London. We find our experience in quality business journalism meets the needs of financial institutions. As English is the international language of business we also offer our training in other countries' financial centres.

However we have worked with other industries and professions to improve their communication skills and welcome approaches from everyone. We have also trained engineers, manufacturing staff, management consultants, financial advisers, accountants, lawyers and individuals.

All our courses are tailor-made to meet clients' specific requirements. Before the course is put together we will discuss these requirements with you and the people you want us to train.

We are very flexible. We can train groups or give one-to-one coaching. Training can be delivered on-site in half-day modules so no-one is taken out of work for a whole day. We are happy for management to sit in on our courses.

Subjects covered include: better business writing from letters, memos and emails to major reports; clearer investment analysis; scripting a rapid soundbite for the morning meeting; crafting a headline to grab attention; producing a newsletter that people want to read; effective editing for different media from printed publications to websites.

As a former national newspaper journalist Tony Gearing is ideally qualified to give Media Training. He can show you how to get the best out of the media and how to handle journalists in a crisis.

We give training in other communication skills such as personal presentation. We use professional speakers to help you prepare for a public engagement with confidence, from writing your speech to how to use a microphone. Even how to conduct a business telephone conversation more usefully.

Softwares are the tools for getting your messages across so we also provide training in major word-processing and desktop-publishing programs.
