Accent Modification | |
Many of you have wondered what is involved in accent modification training. Check out this brief video from the website that explains what to consider when modifying an accent.
 | | Successfully Speaking Accent Modification Training |
In addition to pronunciation and stress patterns, training can include learning grammar, idioms and figurative speech, small talk, writing, and public speaking skills. Call if you have any questions, or I would be happy to speak with your employee for a free telephone consultation. |
| Listening Skills | |
Do you listen to your employees?
One of the most important aspects of communication is the ability to listen. It is a skill required of leaders, consultants, entrepreneurs, management, teachers, therapists, physicians, spouses, and parents, to name just a few. We often know what we want to say, but we may be totally off base if we don't take the time to listen to what the other person may need. All of our intentions to help an employee, client, patient, friend, child, or student may fail if the individual is not motivated to make the changes that we believe are important.
