Introducing BiteSize from Gatehouse Academy - condensed learning for communicators

Following on from my pre-Christmas post about planning your professional development for 2010, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce BiteSize, a newly launched learning and development programme which is aimed squarely at in-house communication teams, line managers and aspiring leaders. New from Gatehouse Academy, BiteSize is a unique modular programme comprising a growing number of stand-alone sessions on all aspects of organisational communication. Responding directly to the changing development needs of in-house communication professionals (not least reduced budgets and more limited scope to travel) it is designed to provide access to the very latest thinking, good practice, case studies and practical advice on a wide range of must-know subjects without the considerable time commitment, inconvenience and high costs usually associated with externally run courses. Two BiteSize programmes are currently available - the Master Communicator programme is aimed at in-house communication teams, whilst the Engaging Manager programme is geared toward line managers and team leaders. See our website for further information.
