However talented you are and how ever good at your job you are, you will not be able to achieve very much unless you can deliver your message and yourself effectively. In this course, firstly we look at the process of delivering an effective oral presentation. Related to this skill is the skill of running effective meetings and of interacting with your work colleagues. Meetings are obviously important features of organisational life. You learn more about these skills in this unit. Finally we bring together all these communication skills that you will need in your business life to develop your own personal skills of self-presentation in an interview situation and through your curriculum vitae. We also identify the features and importance of an organisation�s culture as this affects all communication within it and your approach to it.
