Why run this training in your business?
Help develop the ‘people skills’ of you and your team with our Interpersonal Skills Course.
Being an effective communicator is not a skill that we are all born with. However, it is a skill that can be developed and nurtured over time. Interpersonal skills are often referred to as ‘people skills’ because those that have mastered the art are able to relate well to other people and often do well in their careers because of this.
Interpersonal skills are also one of the key criteria interviewers look for when recruiting for a role. The ability to be able to ‘fit in’ with a team are often just as important as a person’s ability to do the job. This demonstrates how important communicating and being able to relate to others is to the success of a business.
Perhaps you’re looking to improve the working relationships within your team and how everyone interacts. Or you want to include interpersonal skills training as part of management and supervisor development.
Imagine if you and your team were better able to:
-
Appreciate how their communication style affects specific situations and the people around them.
-
Identify how to adapt their behaviour and communicate effectively for each scenario.
-
Create a positive work environment through improved awareness of personality styles.
-
Improve their self-awareness when communicating and reduce office friction.
-
Build rapport to enrich relationships.
-
Persuade and influence others with a focused communication approach.
Ultimately this course will nurture you and your team to appreciate the impact their communication style has on those around them and to adapt accordingly.
