Improve Your Communication Skills

This 1-day in-house course will enable you to practice the skills needed for building strong relationships and improve your communication and influencing skills, in order for you to achieve your goals.

Now you will be able to highlight the difference between positional and personal power; you’ll be shown how to employ specific skills and strategies to influence others, by building trust and commitment – rather than relying on any position of authority.

You’ll learn how to build up rapport and how to get your point across without the waffle so that everyone understands what you wanted to convey.

Below are indicative training topics.
