Business Communication Skills

35 Hours
Communication skills have long been recognised as essential to professional success and many a career has stalled, faltered or stagnated thanks to a lack of communication skills. Contrary to urban myth, few of us are born with this skill, instead most have either practised or learned from mistakes. This course is designed to assist delegates to improve their communication skills and in consequence their ability to work with others. Mediation skills are subtly yet meaningfully different. Excellent communication is a pre-requisite but more important is the ability to listen and take note of what is being said. The role of the mediator is to help parties reach a solution to their problem and to arrive at an outcome that both parties are happy to accept. Mediators avoid taking sides, making judgements or giving guidance. They are simply responsible for developing effective communications and building consensus between the parties. This course also covers the wider range of skills, in addition to communication, that are required to be an effective mediator.

Efektywna komunikacja interpersonalna i rozwiązywanie konfliktów

Effective interpersonalcommunication is a key skill in both personal and professional relationships. It involves focusing on the interlocutor and understanding his or her perspective, as well as expressing interest in what he or she is saying. Using clear and simple messages to avoid misunderstandings, understanding and appreciating other people's feelings, needs and point of view. Effective communication means expressing one's thoughts and feelings responsibly, without violating other people's boundaries, with awareness of cultural differences, which helps avoid misunderstandings resulting from differences in intercultural communication. Effective interpersonalcommunication is the key to building lasting relationships, solving problems, team cooperation and achieving success in both professional and personal life.
