For the past 17 years, Communication Essentials has been showing clients how to get what they want by changing the way they think, talk and act. Based in Northern California's Bay Area and London, UK, we serve clients throughout the world.
Every member of our 12 person team unfailingly walks their talk. Each of our coaches has a double-edged background: a solid track record within the mainstream business world combined with a multi-disciplinary study of human communication. Each is still actively engaged in that process. For this reason, the solutions they recommend are rooted in reality, highly practical, and produce results - fast. Brief bios of the CommunicationEssentials core team - Caitlin Miller, Arthur Joseph and Mike Griffiths - follow below.
