Who is it for?
This communication skills training is for managers and team leaders at all levels who want to examine how their every action and communication (or even lack of them) can have an effect on the behaviours and beliefs of their team. It can be particularly useful for those who are dealing with difficult people or have a tendency to react negatively to certain situations.
What does it cover?
The course examines the communications cycle: how people communicate – both consciously and subconsciously – and how in turn this allows others to communicate and behave. The material allows delegates to comfortably examine communications strategies and techniques for ensuring that they generate the behaviours they want from others.
What will delegates be able to do differently?
- Improve the influence they have over others
- Use perspectives to deal with difficult people
- Confidently and empathetically deal with difficult people and situations
- Understand different communication styles and learn to adapt their own as necessary
- Reduce conflict and confrontation
- Use all forms of communication to consistently deliver their message in the right manner
- Encourage the same behaviours from their people
- Taking responsibility and implementing communication strategies over the longer term
