Course description
People tend to improve their technical skills in order to be successful, while communication skills are sometimes left behind. This is one of the reasons why we struggle to get the job done even though we know all the details. Reality teaches us that we need the help of others to be more productive and raise the satisfaction level of our work. So, instead of applying a “trial and error” strategy in communication with others, this training course is designed to help you master some relevant communication techniques so you can have better relationships and results working with people around you.
