“I found value in every aspect of the course, including the BIRDS framework, Conflict Management, and Giving and Receiving Feedback. The tools provided will undoubtedly help us better understand different personality types and communicate with them more effectively.”
~Elaine Chiassaro, Jacana Administration Services

Work is about people. And people? They’re all about communication. In an age where AI is on the rise, human skills have become more important than ever – and no skill is more crucial than communication in all its forms. This course offers practical tools to handle the communication challenges that matter most: writing clear emails, resolving conflict constructively, giving feedback that resonates, navigating tough conversations, and tailoring your interaction to different people.

Delivered by an experienced facilitator who knows communication inside out, Communication Clever covers nine essential focus areas in a straightforward, engaging way. Being a better communicator and a better human starts here.

The course includes:

  • A pre-course communication self-audit
  • A comprehensive training manual for each participant

Delivery method

The course spans 14 hours in total, and sessions can be structured to suit your team’s schedule. For instance, there could be two 7-hour sessions (with breaks) or five shorter sessions (three 3-hour sessions and two 2.5-hour sessions).

The course is available both in-person and virtually.

Course outcomes

Upon completing the course, participants will:

  • understand and be able to apply the key principles of good email writing
  • be able to apply the basics of good phone conversations
  • know and understand how to apply the core practices at the heart of all good conversations

Michael A. Walker, founder of Language Boss, has devoted his working life to English language teaching and training. His company, Language Boss, helps South Africans learn and develop as people, employers and managers by communicating better in the workplace.

As a trainer, Michael always follows three key principles: put the learner at the centre of the process, maximize learner participation, and draw on the learner’s personal experience.

His work is informed by a Masters in Linguistics from Stellenbosch University, a teaching diploma administered by Cambridge University, and a degree from UCT in English and Industrial Psychology.

Michael also draws on his culturally diverse international training experiences with a global provider of online learning and assessment solutions. He has trained in places as varied as Costa Rica and Kazakhstan, encountering a rich tapestry of peoples and languages.

On Skillfully, Language Boss has two course offerings: Conversation Clever and Write Click.
