Communication skills training for managers and professional people

If you're looking for a practical communication skills training course this London based "Skills with People" course could be the one for you.

Successful communication is difficult.  The problem is a fundamental one to do with the nature of the human mind. The fact that we speak the same language lulls us into believing it's not difficult to understand each other.  But we frequently get it wrong.  It's all too easy to misunderstand and be misunderstood.

We each have an inner life, a stream of consciousness, a flow of private thoughts and feelings we're directly and consciously connected to.  We know what's going on in our own minds.  But we can't tune in directly to other people’s minds.  Telepathy is science fiction.  We are each in a private world separated from each other by a gulf that can never be bridged directly.

How then can we achieve a meeting of minds - how can we connect - how can we understand each other well enough to live and work successfully together?  Only by sending and receiving signals - and our success depends on how well we send and how well we receive. 

The communication skills training provided on the "Skills with People" course will enhance your ability both to tune in on other people's wave-length, and also to get them tuning in on your's.  The two key basic skills you need are listening with empathy and speaking assertively.  They are the core of what is taught on this course.  The course also teaches you how to apply the two key skills, and gives you a wide choice of applications to practise.
