Course Overview
An unanswered email can delay a decision. A presentation that fails to connect can cost you the budget, the client or the promotion—yet few professionals are taught how to communicate in a way that gets results.
Over two weeks, you learn to structure workplace messages around one clear point, turn wordy drafts into direct, action-focused writing, and use evidence to make your requests more credible. You then apply the same discipline to presentations by defining a core message, building a logical flow, and making slide and delivery choices that keep your audience engaged. You finish with a message plan, a rewritten email or memo, and a reviewed presentation structure—three practical outputs you can put to work immediately.

By the end of this course, you will...
Write messages that make the next step clear
Organise your message around one central point, structure it logically and remove wordy, passive or vague language so busy readers immediately understand what to do.
Build a credible and memorable case
Choose the right evidence—whether data, a practical example or a compelling reason—for your manager, colleague or client, and shape it into a story your audience will remember.
Plan presentations your audience can easily follow
Define your core message, sequence your content effectively and review your slides and delivery for readability, visual hierarchy, pacing and audience engagement.
Who is this course for?
About to be promoted, or newly promoted
A promotion, a new role or a bigger brief changes what you are judged on: how clearly you write, and how well you hold a room.
Typical job titles: team leader, project coordinator, business analyst, sales consultant, office administrator.
A specialist whose ideas stall in the room
Your technical work is strong, but explaining it to a manager, a client or a room of non-specialists is where it slows down.
Typical job titles: engineer, accountant, software developer, data analyst, quantity surveyor.
Those already writing and presenting every week
Meetings, proposals, updates and client decks are the job, and you would rather do them properly than by instinct.
Typical job titles: account manager, HR practitioner, training and development practitioner, consultant, communication coordinator.

ORIENTATIONGet set up before module content begins
01Structuring Clear and Credible Business Messages
Organise a workplace message around one clear central point with support in logical order and the required action visible rather than buried. Cut unnecessary words, vague phrasing, weak verbs and overloaded sentences without losing meaning, and choose the evidence, example or rationale that makes a request credible.
Output: a communications methodology you can apply immediately.
02Designing and Delivering Impactful Presentations
Start with the change you want in your audience's understanding, attitude or action, then shape one core message around it rather than starting from slides. Organise content into a sequence people can follow — problem-solution, chronological or point-by-point — and choose evidence, examples and storytelling for what the audience needs.
Output: a refined presentation plan ready to implement.

Influential Business Communication
Influential Business Communication is TSIBA's six-week short course covering conflict and communication at a broader scope. A six week programme where you’ll map who actually decides on a workplace issue and adapt your message for them, plan a difficult conversation properly instead of winging it, give feedback people can act on, cut a wordy draft into a message busy people actually read, and build a presentation around one decision-ready message. By the end of the course you'll have a Business Communication Portfolio built from your own workplace challenges.

Build presenters before you need them.
Every organisation carries the cost of unclear communication without ever putting a number on it — the follow-up emails a request needs, the update nobody acts on, the deck that loses a decision. This course closes that gap in two modules, fully online, working on the messages and presentations already sitting in your team's inboxes.
Talk to Us About CohortsA plan you can read, not just a completion tick

Built around a full working week
2 to 4 hours a week, fully online, across two weeks. No travel, no days out of the business, no cover to arrange.
One shared method across the team
The same message structure, the same test for whether evidence belongs, and the same slide-and-delivery review for every participant.
