What does it take to inspire others, promote a novel idea, or even have a difficult conversation? How can you position yourself as a leader through inclusive communication? How do you know that the message you are intending to send is what is being received?
Influential leaders, real difference makers, and people who leave their mark on the world all have one thing in common: They inspire and bring out the best in others. People of influence are the glue that holds an organisation together. For this reason, it’s essential for all businesses to have effective leaders that can set goals, inspire their team members and guide an organisation to sustain ongoing success.
While most leaders know the basics of communication, many organisations still face problems of misinterpretation and lack of action. So this course focuses on how to communicate with confidence, clarity, and consideration so that you can build enduring relationships in a person and a professional setting. This training will also help you to gain the essential human relations skills to thrive in any professional environment.
This Course Will Help You Grow in the Following 3 Ways:
- Interpersonal Skills: Learn how to build trust and respect based relationships inside or outside of your organisation.
- Professionalism: Project an image of maturity, consistency and integrity that creates credibility with your communications.
- Personal Values: Demonstrate a sense of integrity by allowing your communications to be guided by a strong code of ethics.
You will discover how to form closer, more rewarding relationships that are built on mutual trust and respect. Increasing your confidence and competence in interacting with others will gain the influence you need to reach new heights in both your personal and professional endeavours.
Designed to ignite long-term behaviour change, this course will also help you master the communication skills necessary to strengthen interpersonal relationships, develop a commanding attitude, and install confidence and enthusiasm amongst those whom you have influence over in your workplace.
You'll become better equipped to perform as an influential communicator, problem-solver and focused leader. You'll learn to strengthen your interpersonal relationships, manage stress and handle fast-changing workplace conditions. And you'll develop an assertive 'take-charge' attitude initiated with confidence and enthusiasm.
Learn how to tackle complex communication challenges, expand your ingenuity, and excel in building greater team harmony. Use these new skills to become a more influential communicator by securing your position as a valued leader within the group you serve. As you become more efficient at influencing, you’ll find yourself inspiring others also to take initiative and innovate far more frequently.
