The Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (CB&I), which designs, engineers and constructs some of the world's largest energy infrastructure projects, has asked Baker Communications to deliver a series of private workshops for its employees, focused on time management, effective presentations, and communication skills for dealing with difficult people and situations. Baker has been working closely with CB&I for several years, and the client has selected BCI as its training partner enterprise-wide, delivering classes in 12 subject areas for staff around the globe. BCI will conduct pilot classes for these subjects and will work closely with CB&I to continue providing resources for managers and team members throughout the organization.
Senior-Level Instructors and subject matter experts from Baker Communications will train and coach selected members of the CB&I staff. Participants in the interactive Time Management training event will take a Time Audit to help find hidden time-wasters, and attendees will also learn about proven time management techniques and organizational strategies such as setting goals, prioritizing, and tying activities to goals, helping them to establish and maintain their focus on the most critical and high-value tasks. Participants in the presentations training events will learn and practice essential public speaking techniques such as combating nervousness, controlling speed, and speaking at the proper pitch and volume to ensure maximum clarity. Attendees of the Exceptional Presentations training workshops will also learn and practice fundamentals such as identifying and flexing to others’ Behavioral Styles in order to communicate more effectively, as will participants in the Dealing with Difficult People workshop.
