Description

“Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.” – Jim Rohn
How we talk and listen is essential, but when the stakes are high, our communication skills are even more critical. This course focuses on reassessing how we communicate under stress. Performing well under pressure builds trust and confidence in your abilities to lead and support others. The principles of good communication are speaking carefully, listening effectively, and responding accurately. Effective communication improves relationships in work, social, and personal contexts. The course aims to help participants improve communication skills under pressure, with hands-on practice and discussions.
