Being able to communicate effectively is a vital life skill and can therefore be used in all aspects of life from work to relationships outside of work in the family, with friends and in social situations. All too often when things do not go as we had expected and in the worse cases go spectacularly wrong it often boils down to poor communication somewhere within the situation.
It is very easy to blame others for not communicating effectively but this workshop will help you to analyse your own, and others’, communication and learn from that what makes it effective or ineffective and therefore plan to make changes for the better.
