Effective communication: the fundamentals

You use communication skills on a daily basis when in the work place. Whether you’re talking to colleagues, team members, your boss or a customer, you need to be able to get your point of view across confidently, and get the outcomes you need to work effectively.

Instinctively engaging the appropriate language, tone of voice and body language in each of these different settings, especially in difficult situations, can take some practice.

At this workshop communications expert Wendy Smith will cover the fundamental skills you need to be able to work professionally with anyone and everyone you come in contact with. Wendy will cover a broad range of techniques that will improve your overall portfolio of interpersonal skills.

What you will learn about:

• Using and adjusting your body language.
• Varying your tone to create impact with your vocal delivery.
• Using personal and public space to your advantage.
• The importance of listening and understanding.
• The power of paraphrasing.
• How to be assertive without being aggressive.
• Maximising your verbal impact with powerful words.

Find out how to fine-tune and adapt your style in response to different situations, and leave feeling confident in your abilities.
