C&D Consultancy launches new training course to improve industry communication.
“What we’ve got here is, failure to communicate. Some men, you just can’t reach.”
This is a famous line from the classic 1967 Paul Newman movie, Cool Hand Luke. But it is also a phrase that could be used to describe many sectors of the notoriously insular demolition industry. Until now, that is.
That failure to communicate is being addressed in a new training course from C&D Consultancy, the consultancy owned by current Institute of Demolition Engineers’ John Woodward, one of the best-known communicators in the demolition business.
Woodward reports that the new course is aimed primarily at supervisors, office staff, managers and directors within the demolition environment and covers core skills such as active listening, understanding non-verbal communication, and improving communication skills. The course is also designed to demonstrate that the company is embracing the new requirements within local authority and UKCG pre-qualification processes.
The initial course will be held near Walsall in the Midlands on Friday 15th April 2011.
