Course Summary

Effective leaders possess a wide range of traits, and each individual has a unique management style that has allowed them to be successful. Although their leadership styles will vary, one consistent trait will always be charisma. 


To be a great leader, you must have a strong communication style. Regardless of how brilliant an idea is, when communication is lacking, there will be no execution. Utilising the needed skills and developing your personal and authentic communication style to express ideas clearly and concisely will draw attention to you and your business. 


Communication is not just for making your visions known but also for motivating your team. A productive working environment is one where the staff feel inspired and dedicated to the job and can better overcome adversity with your help. An empathic leadership voice will make people want to engage with you in powerful conversations that lead to powerful outcomes.

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review case studies of successful workplace leaders and assess their approaches to situations such as important events, coaching, and conflict. 
 

Participants will work individually and in teams throughout this course. They should begin with individual learning to ensure they have an in-depth understanding of communication concepts and what circumstances would require a particular type of communication approach. Further into the course, participants will work in teams to practice and demonstrate communication.
