Sharpen Your Team's Skills with Inspire's Training Services

In a busy world of emails, meetings, forecasting and endless commitments that pull at our attention and our time, it can be easy to overlook the value of professional development training. However, as you think about the year ahead, I encourage you and your business to not underestimate the importance of freshening up your communication skills to prepare for what will undoubtedly be another year of opportunities and challenges, that may play out a public stage.

Whether you want to enhance your interview skills, prepare for future crises (it’s not a matter of if, but when), sharpen your social media knowhow, align your leaders around a unified message, or simply be more intentional about thought leadership in 2024 – Inspire offers tailored trainings to help you achieve your goals.

The interactive training sessions, provided in person or virtually, outline best practices in communications and include entertaining elements and interactive practice opportunities. The industry-specific trainings are customized for our clients’ needs and allow corporate leaders to receive excellent coaching in a matter of hours.

As a former TV journalist, I particularly enjoy putting participants through the paces of what to expect when working with media and test their interview skills in front of the camera. It is rewarding to see participants engage what they have learned to help stay on message.

Inspire provides the following trainings:

• Crisis Response/Preparation: Companies and organizations of all sizes should be well prepared to respond to a crisis to minimize the impact and protect the brands’ reputation. From messaging and media to social media and stakeholder communications, Inspire helps participants navigate the high-likelihood and high-impact situations that could strike.
• Media: The media environment today is not what it was 10 years ago, let alone two years ago. The resources have changed, the way we get our news has changed, and how we interact with reporters has evolved. Inspire provides one-on-one and group training to sharpen your media relations savviness and help you engage successfully. Learn how to build mutually beneficial media relationships and refine your interview skills to effectively share your story.
• Social Media: Learn about current trends, best practices in posting, using advertising to reach target audiences and discuss what lies ahead. Participants also will come away with a strong understanding of how media and social media intertwine.
• Leadership/Personal Branding/Public Speaking: Corporations aren’t the only ones with unique brands. Every individual leaves an impression (good or bad). Inspire works with executives to identify personal brand traits and opportunities for visibility to build thought leadership. We also can provide valuable speaking and presentation tips to improve your public presence.

• Message Training

Is each one of your team members talking about your company/organization in a different way? How likely is it your message will be received by the outside world? Inspire will work with you to mine for the values-based messages that resonate and then train your team on how to deliver those key messages, creating a unified voice and elevating your brand.

Inspire’s small-group training facility and event space is available if needed. The 1,500-square-foot space fits up to 24 individuals and offers AV capabilities, and a refreshment and lounge area for breaks.
