Simple communication
is effective communication
The “Simple Communication in Business” training is a workshop that implements best practices in interpersonal communication via emails, presentations, and speech. We eliminate the most common (often hidden) mistakes that cause communication breakdowns within organizations. We help change habits that push participants toward chaotic communication. Using simple tricks and effective language structures, participants’ communication undergoes a complete transformation. The training can be conducted as a webinar for a larger audience or a hands-on workshop with exercises.

What is communication based on the SIMPLE formula?
It's communication that meets the following six criteria:
S (Structured) – structured, I (Inclusive) – open to others, M (Minimalistic) – minimalistic, P (Pictorial) – visual, L (Leading) – leading, E (Empathetic) – empathetic
What is interpersonal communication based on DISC behavior styles?
It’s based on understanding four key audience behavior styles: Dominant (D), Influential (I), Steady (S), and Conscientious (C). Each style has unique characteristics, thought patterns, and preferences that affect how a person communicates and responds to others.

Storytelling vs.
simple communication
We also offer an extended version of this training – Simple Communication vs. Storytelling. Why? Because mastery in business communication requires skill in both. This training focuses on how to combine both modes in everyday business communication. That means learning how to speak, write, and present in a way that is:
- clear and understandable when needed
- inspiring and persuasive when appropriate
