FLEET managers of SME fleets – not feeling the love higher up in the corporate environment? Or that feeling of not getting your voice heard?
Well here’s something for you: a new course designed to help fleet professionals make their voices heard in a corporate environment is being launched by the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP).
The course, which is called Accelerate – Your Voice in Fleet, has been designed by the AFP’s Fleet Academy to help those working in the industry make their knowledge, ideas and experience heard, whether giving a speech at a major formal occasion or during a routine internal meeting.
Many people find public speaking of any kind daunting, even in front of just a handful of colleagues. Fear of public speaking can potentially limit the effectiveness of highly competent people in their roles and this is an area we are keen to address through this course.
The content covers areas such as how to gain confidence, limit your fears, convey messages clearly and easily, and create a repeatable formula that enables you to bring your own style and target your content for the audience. It’s all about creating a practical approach to something that affects many fleet professionals.
Ronnie Gillman, Training Manager at the AFP Tweet
The first course is scheduled for 21-22 May 2024 in Tamworth. If you are an AFP member then the cost is £650 or £750 for non-members.
