Mastering Effective Communication Skills
Date : 19 to 20 November, 2026
Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Bengaluru

INTRODUCTION
 

In modern industrial and corporate ecosystems, technical brilliance is frequently bottlenecked by poor communication. Whether bridging gaps between cross-functional engineering teams, presenting project updates to leadership, or formulating precise shop-floor instructions, clear dialogue is non-negotiable. Miscommunications result in costly operational delays, rework, and misaligned strategic priorities. Understanding the multi-dimensional mechanics of human exchange is paramount for engineering and management professionals.

To address this, the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) organizes an intensive 2-day offline training programme on "Mastering Executive Communication Skills", spearheaded by acclaimed soft skills expert trainer Latha Nahar. This masterclass provides participants with concrete frameworks to master verbal dynamics, non-verbal presence, and technical writing protocols.
