Training Courses

Reaching multiple audiences is at the heart of any successful business today. In a global, 24/7 environment, it is more important than ever that communication is effectively delivered and easily understood. On the surface this may appear simple, but in reality, it’s not. 

Powerful communication is founded on principles and achieved through practice. With the right tools and methodologies, you will have the skills you need to reach your constituencies in a powerful and efficient manner. 

Media Skills

The very next thing you say could be tomorrow's front page news. Are you ready?

Regardless of whether your news is positive or negative, you need to take control of and shape your message. Our team of trainers applies years of broadcast and print journalism experience to tailor courses that suit your business. You will leave knowing the fundamentals of media engagement, what drives the media, how to handle broadcast interviews and press conferences, and how to address the "seven deadly questions."

More experienced spokespeople can benefit from refresher courses; practice makes perfect!

Government & Public Affairs 

China's government priorities and regulatory environment continue to evolve quickly, impacting business decisions across every sector. Managers in all business functions must be aware of the government's priorities, initiatives, and needs. How should you respond and when should you try to influence this critical stakeholder?

Led by experienced H&K trainers, our workshops highlight current political, social, and economic trends; hone in on key industry issues and developments and help participants find workable solutions to real problems. We also provide insight into creating a strong in-house government relations practice and platforms for interaction and discussion with other business functions.

Presentation Skills

Your company relies on you to convey an important message to your employees, your customers or your sales force. But the message does not seem to have been well received. The audience seems bored, uninterested or even hostile and negative. What went wrong?

We can help you drive home that message effectively and efficiently. We can provide immediate feedback on content, presence, tone, style and manners. 

The result: you learn how to ensure that your audience immediately grasps your message.

International Business Etiquette

You understand how to conduct business at home but are you familiar with business etiquette around the world? Globalization has made it more important than ever to understand the differences.

Eating is a perfect example. While in the US, sandwiches at a working lunch are commonplace, continental Europeans favor eating at a restaurant. Based on our cross border work, we have developed a special course on international business etiquette. Participants learn about greetings, cultural customs, gifting, dining, and do's and don'ts around the world. We ensure that your important business relationship is not damaged by a simple cultural misunderstanding.
