Course description
Critical Communications: What You Want, How You Feel, What You Say
Individual and team success depends upon the ability of individuals to communicate with others, face-to-face as well as virtually. Every interaction with another person determines how you are perceived and every interaction is an opportunity to develop trust and exert positive influence. Whether presenting one-to-one or to an audience of one thousand, conveying information to a project team or delivering a difficult message, communicating effectively is one of the most powerful skills for achieving your objectives.
This course develops your ability to focus on your outcome, tune in to your audience, and develop your message for clarity and impact. Your ability to create an environment for open discussion and ongoing dialogue is crucial for communication success. The communication skills covered in this course will increase your ability to exercise choice and control for every type of conversation, influence without authority and improve quality of relationships and productivity.
