Planning and Implementation of Communication, Presentation & Business Writing Training Course in Kisumu, Kenya
Classroom training in Kisumu · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 1,500
Good ideas lose out when they are buried in long emails, delivered in crowded slides or explained without a clear audience in mind. Managers are judged daily on how well they brief, report and persuade, and organisations pay for every unclear instruction and misread memo. This five-day programme treats communication as something to plan and then carry out, rather than leave to instinct.
Participants write a communication plan that identifies audience, purpose, channel and feedback, then put it into action. They structure presentations with the pyramid principle, design simple slides, manage nerves and handle questions, and practise virtual delivery. Writing sessions cover emails, meeting minutes, executive summaries, reports, proposals and plain-language editing, with attention to tone and grammar. Officers, supervisors, project coordinators, administrators, analysts, programme staff and emerging leaders in government, NGOs and private firms will benefit. Classroom, online and in-house formats are available. A CPD-accredited certificate is awarded, and you leave able to run your next briefing, report or pitch to a clear plan with measurable follow-up.

About this course
Workplaces run on messages: instructions to teams, updates to executives, proposals to funders, presentations to clients and reports to boards. When these are poorly planned, the cost shows up as rework, missed deadlines, lost bids and strained relationships. Strong communicators are not simply talented speakers or writers; they decide what they want to achieve, understand who they are addressing and choose the right form and channel before they begin.
This course follows that sequence from planning to delivery. Participants learn to analyse audiences, set communication objectives, build a message and select channels, then implement the plan through spoken and written work. The presentation modules deal with structure, storytelling with evidence, slide design, voice and body language, and answering difficult questions. The business writing modules cover clear sentence construction, concise emails, minutes and briefing notes, longer reports and proposals, editing and proofreading.
Every day includes short performances and drafting tasks that are reviewed by the trainer and peers. By the close, participants will have a personal communication plan, a recorded or observed presentation with feedback, and a portfolio of rewritten workplace documents.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Analyse audiences and set clear objectives for each workplace message.
- Prepare a communication plan covering message, channel, timing and feedback.
- Structure presentations so that the main point is clear from the start.
- Design simple, readable slides that support rather than replace the speaker.
- Deliver talks with confident voice, posture and eye contact, in person and online.
- Write concise emails, minutes and briefing notes that prompt action.
- Draft reports and proposals with a logical flow and an effective executive summary.
