| Structuring thoughts |
Simple but solid principles, supported by relevant examples
and real-life exercises with individual feedback—these are
the foundations of our training approach. Thus no useless
theory, academic examples, or canned exercises. We offer
no-nonsense guidelines that participants can readily apply.
Our training sessions are highly customized. Most typically,
we select our examples from material provided in advance
by those attending the session (reports, slides, graphs, ...).
We tailor contents and duration to objectives and audience,
thus proposing lectures, workshops, and training programs.
Our training sessions cover three communication themes:
oral presentations, written documents, and visual displays.
These themes are broad enough to include satellite topics
such as gentle persuasion, electronic mail, or Web design.
Under the label Getting the message across, we propose
transversal workshops, bringing several themes together.
More recently, we have also started offering short programs
on statistical thinking. Notable among these is one titled
Dice, cards, and insurances, to help insurance professionals
make correct reasonings and figure out insurance premiums.
On another level, we also train instructors and professors,
with an emphasis on encouraging learning, not teaching.
