During this training course, we will cover the following areas:

• What communication is:?the components of communication and what makes someone good at it
• The language of communication:?choosing our words and exploring questioning techniques
• Body language: how it can affect face to face communication
• Understanding others:?the power of listening, considering the perceptions of others, and exploring empathy
• Communication at work:?Keeping control, being aware of jargon
• Other media:?Telephone, email and social media; how they can limit (or enhance) communication
• Tips and tricks:?How to never say no, how to get your way
• Conflict in communication:?being aware of emotions and navigating confrontations constructively
• After the conversation:?Reflecting on interactions, and recognising the value of feedback
• Personal awareness:?a chance to explore our own past experiences with others

This course is intended to be very interactive and driven by discussion, and all attendees will be encouraged to actively engage throughout the session. The format is intended to be informal to foster natural conversation, as befitting the theme of the course.
