Communication skills

Course Details

Is a lack of good communication impacting upon your organisation?

If you ask people in an organisation what they think the greatest organisation failing is, the vast majority will tell you that it is ‘poor communication’. So why are we always so bad at telling each other and our clients the things they need to know? This one day course will help improve the situation

It is all too easy to take things for granted and assume that people know or understand, or that someone else is dealing with it. It is also easy to misinterpret what is expected, which can easily begin a chain reaction of unwanted events.

All it takes is someone taking a comment the wrong way, a misunderstanding or someone sharing the ‘wrong’ message and it will not be long before you watch the impending disaster unfold.

If you think your organisation and its teams would benefit from improving communication, then this course will help.
