Overview
A media counselor is a professional who helps clients plan, buy, and evaluate various media platforms and channels to achieve their marketing and communication goals.
Becoming an effective brilliant media man can help you achieve your goals in life, both professionally and personally. In this course, you will learn how to captivate an audience from the first words you write or say, techniques for making a mark with memorable messages, and how to find and use the power of your unique style.
You will also explore the importance of being crystal clear on your story, the effectiveness of simplicity, incisive writing and speaking techniques, using logic and emotion to influence and persuade, how to adopt positive body language to help you command an audience, and the remarkable but all too often underappreciated art of storytelling.
Opportunities emerging via social media
The social media scene – so familiar to the “digital natives” (young people who have never known a world without the internet or the above potentials for connecting) – also beckons alluringly too many “digital immigrants: internet users old enough to compare the contemporary world of digital technologies with the ancient world “B.C.” (Before connectivity).
To the extent that they understand and know how to participate in social media, even the “immigrants” can grasp how advancements in communication technologies, and especially social media, afford mental health practitioners the opportunity to do research and provide services in more unique and far-reaching ways than before.
The lifting of heretofore restrictive conditions – by virtue of geographic location, time zone, mobility constraints, and the social stigma of simply showing up at the counselor’s office – is overcome by new and improved possibilities for anonymity, easy access, and greater flexibility. Let us examine some of those enhanced opportunities.
What will I learn?
By the end of the course you will be able to:
- apply the principles of effective communication to any situation, from writing to presenting and storytelling
- develop your unique voice to communicate with any audience
- Apply communication techniques for influence and emotional impact.
This course is aimed at anyone who would like to improve their communication skills, but specifically:
- ambitious early career professionals who want to equip themselves with the communication skills to advance and achieve their goals
- mid-level managers who would like to inspire and enthuse team members and progress within their role
- Senior leaders who need to better explain their ideas and vision to teams in order to achieve buy-in and ensure optimum performance.
