Effective interpersonal communication with elements of assertiveness Training Course

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for individual contributors, managers, and team leaders whose professional success relies on the ability to communicate clearly, ensure their message is understood, and positively influence the performance of others while fostering constructive working relationships.

Course Description

The success of both individuals and teams hinges on the capacity to communicate effectively, whether in face-to-face settings or through virtual channels. Every interaction shapes how you are perceived by others and presents a valuable opportunity to build trust and exert positive influence. Whether you are engaging in one-on-one discussions, presenting to a large audience, conveying information to a project team, or delivering sensitive news, effective communication remains one of the most powerful tools for achieving your goals.

This course aims to enhance your ability to stay focused on your objectives, connect with your audience, and craft messages that are clear and impactful. Creating an environment that encourages open dialogue and continuous engagement is essential for communication success. The skills covered in this program will empower you to take control of every type of conversation, influence others without relying on authority, and ultimately improve the quality of your relationships and overall productivity.

Communication skills have long been recognised as essential to professional success and many a career has stalled, faltered or stagnated thanks to a lack of communication skills. Contrary to urban myth, few of us are born with this skill, instead most have either practised or learned from mistakes. This course is designed to assist delegates to improve their communication skills and in consequence their ability to work with others.

Mediation skills are subtly yet meaningfully different. Excellent communication is a pre-requisite but more important is the ability to listen and take note of what is being said. The role of the mediator is to help parties reach a solution to their problem and to arrive at an outcome that both parties are happy to accept. Mediators avoid taking sides, making judgements or giving guidance. They are simply responsible for developing effective communications and building consensus between the parties. This course also covers the wider range of skills, in addition to communication, that are required to be an effective mediator.
