DiMarco Speaks
Communication and Media Training Experts
“You’re not always aware of your own habits; you don’t hear yourself the way others do. When you see yourself on video it is really eye opening.”
- Workshop Participant (Zakir - Executive Financial Industry)
The Real World
Hands-On Approach
​The real world is brought into the training room with a hands-on approach. Communications training is interactive and engaging. Exercises are geared to be used in the boardroom, business environment and client events.
​
Communication is key in business. Communicating the RIGHT message is essential. But we are our worst enemies. Our body, our language and our words can disway others, and undermine our message.
​
Workshops are geared toward Executives, Senior Managers, and the Next Gen so that they can lead, contribute, and ultimately succeed in both a boardroom and business environment.
​
