Talking It Over: Skills for making it all a little easier

Thursday 2 May, 9am - 10.30am

90 minute Online Workshop

When we spend some time to focus on improving clear and persuasive interpersonal and intra-organisational communication skills - we end up making all our personal, social, and professional interactions easier and more satisfying. 

Clear, confident, empathetic, and effective communication skills develop cooperation, teamwork, and rapport - and noticeably reduce stress. They strengthen the core of all personal and inter-personal relationships - and also improve outcomes for all result focused organisations and teams.

This is especially true in situations when the topics, the situations, and (sometimes) the people are just challenging to deal with.

Workshop Content

Participants will learn 5 specific interpersonal, and face-to-face, communication techniques and strategies that will help them communicate more effectively and persuasively, with whoever they need to interact with - and whatever they need to talk about. 

These skills and strategies have been shown to be useful in both personal (with family and friends) settings, and in professional and work related environments.

They are effective and helpful whether we are in direct disagreement with someone, or simply trying to gain better understanding – or to be better understood – and build rapport with others.

Who should attend

We feel this workshop will be useful to anyone who knows, talks to, lives with, or works with - anyone.

We also offer PRIVATE WORKSHOPS -  does your orginisation or business feel bespoke training would benefit staff?  You could host combined team training to get everyone on the same track which can be delivered online or in-person.   Please email Feona for more information.
