At Barks Communications, we conduct communications training workshops. We work with executives who want to ensure their communications training efforts result in long-term business success, and with experts who want to enhance their career path.
Our clients gain an enhanced reputation, increased confidence, better odds of achieving public policy objectives, and more opportunities for professional advancement. In addition, we aim to inspire a thirst for lifelong learning that makes them better communicators over the long run and earns them the status they deserve.
We prefer working with clients who believe their communications training efforts should help them achieve their business goals. We encourage our clients to shy away from “here today, gone tomorrow” stopgap measures.
Might we be a good match for your needs? This is who we typically work with:
- Fortune 1000 corporations
- Inc. 500 companies
- National and international associations
- Global public affairs and public relations agencies and their clients
- Independent communications consultants who advise large or growing businesses
- Corporations and associations plagued by negative news clips, product recalls, lost legislative battles, and other dents to their reputation
- Organizations that conscientiously budget for communications counsel
How do we help you accomplish your communications objectives? We focus on magnetizing your message and fine tuning your performance. Here are some of the more popular services we offer.
Media Training
Our media training workshops prepare leaders from diverse fields—health care, technology, finance, pharmaceuticals, environment, politics, science, sports, and entertainment, to name just a few—for interviews with The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, CNN, Fox News Channel, and more. We also guide them to success in a broad range of other media formats—trade publications that cover your industry, blogs, radio talk shows, and regional newspapers and TV stations, for example.
Presentation Skills Training
Our presentation skills workshops prepare executives to speak in public with confidence, whether they are delivering a speech to a packed auditorium, a slide presentation to colleagues, or a report to the board of directors.
Legislative Testimony Training
Our witness preparation trainings empower executives with the ability to achieve their public policy goals when testifying before Congress, federal and state regulators, and state legislatures.
Strategic Communications Consulting
Many organizations lack the internal capabilities to get their message across to the public. Ed Barks can step in to consult on methods to help you frame your messages, employ sound strategies, and implement the tactics designed to raise the public profile of your organization and the abilities of your key spokespeople.
