Increase Clarity and Competence
Communication Skills
Poor communication has been cited as the number one stressor at work and 86% of employees cite lack of effective collaboration and communication as the main causes for dysfunctional workplace conflict. Improving communication skills requires a shift in perspective and empathy to understand how messages are being received and uncover the intent and assumptions that drive our daily interactions. Our Communication Skills training supports meaningful and lasting changes in how to communicate clearly and receive messages from others.
This course focuses on the two sides of communication – expressing and listening. Listening is often considered the missing link in quality communications and the key to increasing understanding and connection. Participants experience the impact (and effort!) of engaging in truly present listening and discover how to express themselves with clarity and assertiveness.
Masterly spends time before each training to understand your organisation and the needs of the training attendees. The communications skills course is then tailored to meet your specific needs. Communication training can be delivered at a more basic level for people just starting out in their careers and for those who are already communicating well and are looking to finesse their communication skills. At the more advanced level, this programme explores how participants can deal with complex communications and conflict situations, considers communication during change and how to ensure important messages are filtered down to the intended audience.
