We all know or work with people\, whom we respect as effective communicators\, but what is it about their behaviour that we aspire to and how do they do it? How is it that they are not only able to express themselves fully but can also get to the heart of what is important to the people around them? \nMost of us communicate well in many situations; however\, occasionally we need a little help. The first step is realising that you can learn new communication skills and that these are not solely in the domain of gifted communicators. \nIn which situations would you find it useful to convey yourself as a confident and articulate individual? Whether you want to communicate with more impact or build rapport with a colleague or client; improving your communication skills will help you meet these challenges. \nThis special workshop is ideal for those who need to build effective working relationships or depend on effective communication in critical situations. It will also benefit those who would like to develop their own skills and confidence in communication generally. \n  \n  \nObjectives: \n\nRevisit the foundation of effective communication\nFrame communications positively\nRemaining in control of time spent on conversations\nGiving positive feedback\nHaving difficult conversations\n\n  \nWhat you will learn: \n\nPractical verbal and non-verbal communication\nThe importance of rapport and how to build relationships\nMethods of organising your thinking to convey the message you really mean\nTo use precise questioning skills to control and move the conversation along\nHow to communicate carefully in difficult situations\nHow to resolve conflict and open up the communication\nHow to implement changes on return to office\n\n  \nDuration: 1 day \nWe can deliver training onsite at your own workplace.
