Communication is an essential part of our daily lives. Even if we don’t open our mouths, our demeanor and body language is conveying a message to those around us – and sometimes it’s not the message we want to project!
This online Communication Skills course will help you become a more effective and positive communicator. You’ll be able to identify the common problems holding you back, learn about nonverbal messages, build on your listening skills and develop your ability to handle difficult situations with tact.
An online course, this eLearning is interactive and engaging. You’ll work through a series of tasks with the aim to earn as many badges as you can. The course is optimised for all desktop and mobile devices, so you can learn on the go if you want! You’ll have access for one month, and during that time can enjoy your course 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
These breakdowns in communication are a source of conflict, and are always an unnecessary expense for business – even if it just requires your time to fix.
This short, interactive online course will give you the skills, tips and techniques you need to improve how you give and receive communications.
