This is not just another public speaking course. Bergen Communications offers you a practical, hands-on guide to the strategy side of communication. We will focus on science-backed approaches to mission-, vision-, goal-setting, storytelling, marketing, and reaching new target groups while effectively engaging the audience you already have. 

Learn about frameworks that will help you determine what information you should focus on at what time and how to tailor your communication strategy to different markets and target groups for the best results. 

After hosting successful workshops and teaching award-winning university courses about communication, media, and marketing topics in the U.S. for 6 years, Dr. Jana Wilbricht is excited to bring a highly practical version of these seminars, tailored for business and organization leaders, to her new home of choice, beautiful Bergen!

You will receive both a printed and digital certificate documenting your seminar completion and newly gained competence in this area to current and future employers.
