Description
Effective communication skills underpin the smooth and harmonious running of every successful workplace. In the VUCA environment where change is the constant, our influence must be intentional, and communication is the currency! Achieving shared understanding and mutual purpose, with the inevitable disruption and tensions of a pandemic and the associated challenges of hybrid and remote working, means our communication must be strategic.
This workshop provides you with the strategic communication and influencing skills required to deliver key messages. As a result, morale, productivity and workplace relationships are enhanced, and the team has shared agreement on its culture and goals.
