  Effective Interpersonal Communication Skills  
Although often termed a "soft" skill, communication is the most critical management and team effectiveness skill in any organization. Poor communication is frequently identified as the major cause of conflict and performance problems. By exploring how the human brain processes messages, you will derive better strategies for being understood as intended and motivating others. Discover how to give feedback effectively, listen actively and express feelings non-defensively in challenging conversations.

  You will learn to:
  • Employ communication strategies for motivating performance improvement.
  • Flex your communication style to improve understanding.
  • Apply techniques for managing difficult moments in sensitive conversations.
  • Listen actively when it's difficult to do so.
  • Overcome perceptual and other communication barriers.
