Every day our success is shaped by how we communicate. We rely on our communication skills 24/7/365 at work and at home. And yet we frequently experience frustration, confusion and even conflict as a result of apparently clear messages being misunderstood, misinterpreted or just ignored. Our communication affects how we learn, how we influence and how we achieve. And for leaders, the effects of our communication simply get increasingly amplified.
Communication @ Work workshops can be tailored to your team's requirements and can be delivered in half-day or full-day formats or as a conference presentation.
Specific workshop offerings in this area include:
Communicating to Influence, which explores five practical principles of effective communication that can be applied every day to interpersonal, team and leadership contexts.
Presenting with Confidence and Skill, incorporating key principles of content development, structure, persuasion and delivery
Writing for Results focusing on audience orientation, common problems, strategic approaches to writing, structures, and natural language
Team Communication, in which we can incorporate use of the DiSC or other style assessment profiles to provide powerful insights into the normal variations in human communication. This helps heighten both self-awareness and acceptance of others' differences and needs in communication.
Depending upon your needs and how the program is tailored, key outcomes encompass:
Greater respect for the communication process and the dynamics of interpersonal communication and communication styles
Improved listening and attention
More open, honest and direct conversations, feedback and input
