Course Summary
There are many different skills to learn that will help in a workplace environment, from confidence to negotiation to assertiveness. All these skills are required to become a good leader and role model to a team. They will assist in motivating your workforce to achieve a collective goal and catch the attention of partners and stakeholders to secure investment.
To be a good communicator, you will need to address effective body language, enhance your negotiation skills and perform active listening to gain buy-in and take on feedback from your team. A good communicator can move forward with their ideas, gaining the confidence of others, but also take a step back to listen to the ideas of others to help improve the department and make necessary changes.
Great leaders are there to work for their teams, support them when something goes wrong, and pick them up when they lack motivation. This means you’ll need to enact an open-door policy to ensure your team feels happy and confident in approaching you with an open and honest communication style. You will need to know about problems before you can resolve them, and good communication is the key to finding out what needs to improve in your department.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Be more confident, authentic, and effective with your communication skills while still working on improving them.
- Use positive, engaging, and direct language.
- Be able to present yourself more professionally in front of audiences.
- Be self-assured in senior meetings or in taking control of negotiations.
- Persuade and convince others to gain recognition and support from your peers.
- Manage up, down, and sideways and confidently present your ideas.
- Create an open-door policy to ensure your employees feel confident approaching you.
- Develop your active listening skills and take on feedback to enact change.

This course uses various adult learning methods to aid understanding and comprehension.
