Immediately after leaving college, Jane Burton became a food technician at Roston
International. Ten years later, after joining a competitor to take up the position of
training manager, she found that her communication skills were limited.
‘In my first week I had to make a presentation about food testing in front of 300 staff,”
she recalls. “They were bored for the whole time, mainly because I had no idea how
to do it. This experience made me realize that I needed to enroll on a course in
communication skills, and now I can happily speak to any group, on any subject,
prepared or even unprepared. The more speaking you do, the easier it gets.”
In today’s fast-moving world of electronic communication, people also need to be able
to express their thoughts clearly in writing. In all companies, though, the importance
of the spoken word remains unequalled for ensuring that things get done.
