Chris Malherbe chris@skillstrainer.net Background Born in Canada in 1969, I grew up on four continents. I have completed a Bachelor of Science in Management Studies in addition to Master of Science degrees in Human Relations & Business as well as Human Resources Development & Training. I have been working as a skills trainer since 1994. During this time I have worked for many companies throughout the Americas, Europe and Africa. I have designed and led train-the-trainer programs from 1997 onwards. Learning communication skills can be fun. You will remember me not only for the skills you have acquired but also for my vivid rendition of a businessman in Pidgin English or Swiss dialect. My Method I use a three-dimensional approach. You will acquire the necessary knowledge, tools and techniques. Together we will practice the skills you need to be successful. Finally, you will be empowered to use everything in your daily business practice. My motto: As little theory as necessary, as much practice as possible. Mission Business communication skills training is my true calling and I am dedicated to helping you improve your skills and reach your goals. Services I specialize in workshops in negotiation, presentation, facilitation, meetings, intercultural communication, telephoning, business writing and sales. I also help companies prepare for mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, trade fairs, international conferences and other business projects.
