What past course attendees say:
Master the art of clear, confident expression while remaining receptive and open to others' concerns. You will discover the psychological impact this communication method has on long-term relationships and how influential it can be in achieving agreement with others.
We do not manage time - we manage ourselves with respect to time - time is life! On this course you will learn the difference between importance and urgency and will be given tools, techniques and strategies that can be used back in the workplace to maximise the time they spend completing the tasks that matter most, whilst minimising time spent on tasks that don't.
Clear, authentic self-expression and active listening are key ingredients of this course. Embrace the power of assertive communication as a woman, develop confidence and learn to communicate effectively with people at all levels in your organisation.
What is a Crucial Conversation? A crucial conversation is a discussion between two or more people where the stakes are high, opinions vary and emotions run strong. These conversations, when handled poorly or ignored, lead to strained relationships and dismal results.
