Publications, Audio Products Hone Speaking Skills
Barks Communications today announced the unveiling of the Barks Learning Network. The new network offers a system of multimedia educational products designed to enhance its customers' abilities to communicate in public settings.
"The Barks Learning Network expands our communications training capabilities in two important ways," said company President Edward J. Barks. "First, it extends the education of our clients beyond the day of their workshop. That's important. The Barks Learning Network emphasizes the notion of lifelong learning.
"Second, the network allows more of today's professionals to take advantage of our expertise in order to achieve more refined communications skills," he added.
Barks Communications' secure e-commerce capability means that all products in the Barks Learning Network are available directly from the Products page on Barkscomm.com at www.barkscomm.com/products.
The network's initial offerings include:
- Keep the Audience on Your Side: The Public Speaking Companion - The guide Barks gives its clients who participate in presentation skills training workshops.
- Face the Press with Confidence: The Media Interview Companion - The guide Barks' clients receive to advance the learning of their media training workshop.
- "The Three Keys to Great Presentations™" - An audio CD highlighting Barks' three strategic steps to sharper presentations.
- "Do You Really Need Your Laptop for a Power Packed Presentation?" - An audio CD demonstrating how to make slides strengthen a presentation, not detract from it.
- Winning at the Witness Table; 60 Tips to Terrific Testimony - An easy to reference booklet filled with practical advice for organizational leaders who appear as witnesses before government panels.
