BOOST YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS

We have all been in situations where we’ve been misunderstood, despite agreeing on a course of action & giving what we thought were clear instructions, leaving us frustrated or angry. Was it them or our inability to communicate clearly? We’ve sent an email in haste & wonder why we receive a curt (or no) response. We have failed to listen & engage with the other person and wonder why we don’t get the contract, the job offer or follow up social engagement. Do you avoid difficult situations because you don’t know how to deal with them? Communication skills are necessary because they help us to share information, understand others & build connections. They play a vital role in professional relationships, education, work & socially. Good communication enables clear expression, active listening & collaboration. It enhances understanding & reduces conflict. Join this short one-day workshop to help boost your communication skills.
