Communication skills that are understood first time

Communications are full of ambiguities.  Is there any wonder that we give and receive mixed messages when there are so many barriers put in our way to stop us communicating effectively?  This workshop will look at all forms of communication, whether it’s face to face, over the phone or in writing and decipher what the key components are that give you communication skills that make you stand out from the crowd.  Understanding the way you communicate and what impact it has on others will help you to develop communications that are right for every situation.

You’ll have a greater understanding of the impact your communications have now and what steps you need to take to increase their impact in the future.
