What is the difference between 'Communication' & 'Communications'?
Communication = human behaviour.
Communications = public relations/marketing/organizational news and information.
Here at SMR we offer coaching and training services in communication - no S.
This means we operate using communication theory that studies the communication patterns and processes of human behaviour. We understand the foundation of interpersonal and public communication effectiveness. Allowing us to educate you on the theory of communication that underpins the practical skill sets that allow us to communicate with others.
Where do the sessions take place?
Given the current landscape and considering all public health protocols; all coaching and training sessions are available virtually.
In-person sessions and workshops can still be scheduled as long as all proper public health protocols, including physical distancing, can be safely and comfortably followed.
When should I connect with a communication coach?
It is never too late. Being labelled as a 'poor' communicator is not a life sentence. Communication effectiveness can be learned, and there is always room for improvement.
If you have always wanted to become a more confident speaker or be more comfortable in interpersonal settings, then it's time to connect!
