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

Active listening techniques: Defining active listening, its importance, and best practices for fostering a supportive communication environment.
