Overcoming Resistance to Change
CHALLENGE AND ISSUE
Employees with significant experience may resist oral communication training due to undervaluing its benefits or feeling embarrassed about their skills, which, coupled with an overreliance on computer-generated slides, undermines effective communication and necessitates a shift toward concise, engaging presentations to maintain audience engagement in today’s fast-paced environment.
RISK AND IMPACT
Without employee buy-in, training initiatives may fail, leading to wasted resources and continued poor communication practices that disengage audiences and undermine the objectives of the training.

APT SOLUTION
APT encourages participants to embrace change on their own terms, guiding them to set personalized objectives and witness their progress while emphasizing that effective communication comes from articulating messages clearly, rather than relying solely on presentation slides.
