About the Course
Excellence in communication is about respect. Respect is at the heart of building business relationships. It is the glue that holds them together.
To articulate well, to be understood, and to do so with respect is universally recognised as the most critical professional skill required for success as a communicator, and a leader.
The ability to understand what drives your behaviour and that of others and to cooperate and overcome difference is essential for an organisation to grow and prosper. Once equipped with this knowledge, insight and emotional intelligence, watch others perceptions of you change to engagement, collaboration and negotiation.
This course has been carefully designed as a roadmap to turn these behavioural differences into positive and sustainable results for individuals and teams – filtering through to organisational success. The ability to get along with people… it’s as simple as that.
Who Will Benefit
This course is a unique opportunity for anyone who wants to ensure they have a strong appreciation of how their behaviour affects others, how other’s behaviour affects them, and how to move beyond this to master articulation, cooperation and develop an adaptive style that commands respect
Testimonials
“Diverse and very different approach, focused on human psychology as opposed to attempting to define and put others into boxes… a clear effective communicator.”
