preparation comes through courses in math, science, and history
in school. , yet we’re not taught how to communicate
in a way that promotes cooperation? We’re taught English
and how to use it correctly, but not how to use it appropriately.
We’re not taught what to say when someone blames us
for something that is not our fault; how to sensitively deliver
bad news; how to coach instead of criticize; or how to tactfully
terminate one-sided conversations.
This
workshop teaches participants what to say when they don’t
know what to say. Practical language helps to prevent time
consuming mistakes and misunderstandings, quickly resolve
complaints and conflict and communicate effectively with just
about anyone, anytime, anywhere.
This
intensive program doesn’t rehash platitudes or waste
time on abstract theories. Instead, using real-life examples
from around the world, it discusses ideas that can be use
immediately professionally, socially and personally. |
