This course follows on from Basic Communication Skills and aims to expand deeper into many sources of miscommunication. It provides several easy – to – use soft skills techniques that can be employed in establishing rapport with others, strengthening relationships and avoiding common conversational traps.

In particular, the course covers areas such as probing and understanding other people’s perceptions, understanding intentions and their impact, taking responsibility and avoiding blame.

During this course delegates learn to manage their emotions better so that these emotions don’t leak or burst into conversations at the wrong moment.

Techniques are provided to manage difficult conversations and to avoid getting trapped in a psychological game going back and forth on certain points rather than moving forward to focus on underlying issues or concerns.

All of the techniques explored in the courses are thought using several examples. Many example conversations of poor communication are provided and delegates are encouraged to analyse them. This is then followed by in-depth training on why and how these conversations fail and what can be done to avoid them.

This is subsequently followed by improved examples so delegates can see exactly how to use the techniques and what to expect of them.

Participants then participate in several exercises to master these skills. Exercises are carefully designed to help the delegates memorise these techniques during the course and learn to apply them in real-time in realistic situations encountered in the real world.
