Your success as a leader is determined by your ability to work productively and appropriately with people. Improving the day-to-day communication among and with your employees increases your company’s productivity, your employees’ satisfaction, and overall effectiveness of work teams. Specific benefits of effective communication include:

  • Gain greater awareness of your own communication style and its impact on others
  • Enhance your ability to listen — even with daily distractions
  • Determine how your nonverbal communication impacts your effectiveness
  • Discover how “perception” is as important as “reality”
  • Learn how to check for understanding
  • Improve your personal and organizational effectiveness

The learning environment for Effective Communication has been carefully designed to ensure your maximum benefit. This program provides you with the tools you need to be a better leader, while keeping you engaged though discussion, assessments, case studies and exercises. In this workshop, you will learn:

  • The fundamental principles of communication
  • How perception can affect communication
  • How communication affects credibility
  • The importance of persuasive communication
  • How to listen effectively
  • Differences between facts and inferences
  • How to give constructive feedback

Who should attend:

  • Small business owners
  • Team leaders
  • Supervisors
  • Managers

Our workshops are designed for people who supervise others. The concepts and skills taught are also relevant to all who work with people in a team environment.

Whether you own your own business, or work in an office, at an agency, in a health care facility, or manufacturing plant, you will find the workshops applicable in your environment.
