Conversations – everybody has them. Some conversations are high-risk; others are carefree; but all have an impact on our careers and our private lives. At work, the quality of our conversations largely determines company culture and organisational effectiveness. Beyond work, too, conversations are essential to our relationships.
Talking to others is the most human of skills, but, sadly, we are not very skillful at it. This course, led by Language Boss, focuses on business, workplace, and general communication and will greatly raise the quality of your conversations and conflict resolution skills. If you have colleagues, a boss, employees, direct reports, a partner or a spouse, Conversation Clever is for you.
The course is offered using one of two delivery methods:
Between sessions, whether online or in-person, participants apply what they have learned to their real-world conversations. The resulting experiences are discussed at the start of the next session.
