Pinnacle Performance Company Launches Ascend Program to Encourage Effective Communication Skills Retention and Behavior Change
Advanced Presentation Skills and Advanced One-to-One Communication Skills workshops help past Pinnacle participants address number one skills gap and training priority for business success
CHICAGO, Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pinnacle Performance Company, a premier global communication skills training firm, launched its new Pinnacle Ascend Program today to further encourage past Pinnacle workshop participants adopt, retain, and apply Pinnacle's effective communication skills training in the workplace.
Advanced Presentation Skills and Advanced One-to-One Communication Skills are the first two workshops available in the Pinnacle Ascend Program. These interactive, exercise-based workshops were designed for past workshop participants who want to continue their education. The instructor-led workshops are delivered on-site and culminate in project-based simulations applicable and customized to participant's role.
"We view communication skills like any other skill or behavior," said David Lewis, CEO and co-founder of Pinnacle Performance Company. "To promote behavior change, create new habits, and reinforce long term skill adoption and retention, communicators, like athletes or musicians, must keep their skills crisp through continuous practice. We created the Pinnacle Ascend Program to encourage workshop participants further sharpen their communication skills and refresh their abilities through intense, practical simulations."
According to LinkedIn's 2019 Global Talent Trends Report, 92 percent of talent professionals and hiring managers said soft skills are just as important or more important than hard skills when hiring talent. Eighty percent also said soft skills are increasingly important to company success. According to LinkedIn's 2018 Workplace Learning & Development Report, the number one priority for training was soft skills.
"The two most common comments we receive at the end of a Pinnacle workshop are 'I wish there was another day' or 'What's next?'," added Lewis. "We are passionate about life-long learning. In addition to our Video Learning Modules, our Virtual Coach, and our online Learning Vault, our new Ascend Program supports our commitment to long-term retention of our techniques for professional success and greater return on investment."
