The PICA Business Writing workshop gives participants a refresher on basic writing concepts (such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation), and an overview of the most common business documents.

2. Communication Strategies

For the better part of every day, we are communicating to and with others. Whether it’s the speech you deliver in the boardroom, the level of attention you give your spouse when they are talking to you, or the look you give the cat, it all means something. PICA’s Communication Strategies workshop helps participants understand the different methods of communication and how to make the most of each of them. These strategies will provide a great benefit for any organisation and its employees
