WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Majority of leaders underestimate the power of soft skills and one of them being a good communicator, especially when working with people to deliver a project, service or product.

Leveraging real-work scenarios and examples, we tackle the leadership communication soft skill upskilling via in-depth lessons, discussions, self-assessment, self-reflection, and interactive learning.

Participants will walk away with actionable communication techniques to elevate their leadership presence immediately and going forward required for a great leader and an effective communicator.

Please Note: You won’t become a communications expert immediately as this takes time but you will have the tools, frameworks and strategies to enhance and apply immediately after this course.

Unfortunately, no one tells when you get promoted or as you move up the career ladder that as a leader, you spend 80% of your time communicating in different forms rather than actually applying your technical skills.

Why? This is because as a leader you spend most of your time leveraging your experience providing guidance, unblocking obstacles for your team or organisation, negotiating, persuading stakeholders, issue and conflict resolution and team development.

All activities mentioned above require effective communication tailored to each scenario for you to be effective and successful. This is why we built this this course as no one teaches you how to successfully handle these scenarios in real life or at work hence some leaders struggle and become stagnant in their career progression.

In this course, we will have in-depth live interactive sessions and live Q&A exchange leveraging real examples that I have experienced and witnessed to ensure that you learn from the pitfalls so you avoid them going forward.

You will walk away with knowledge, strategies and tools to enable you to develop lifelong effective communication skills with continuous practice which will enable you in verbal or written form to:

- Understand the power of and tact application of emotional intelligence in all communication forms to maintain stakeholder engagement and a productive working environment.

- Get buy-in and with positive influence your stakeholder’s positive decision making

- Apply strategies and frameworks for presenting and delivering clear, concise, and impactful messages in townhalls, board, team and external meetings

- Enhance your ability to inspire and motivate teams through storytelling strategic communication and vision casting.

- Apply active listening skills to enable you to communicate effectively, resolve conflict amicably and engaging with the stakeholders constructively.

-  Navigate difficult conversations with confidence and tact.
