Persuasive Communication Training Course

Target Audience

This course is designed for individual contributors, managers, and team leaders whose professional success relies on the capacity to communicate clearly, ensure their message is understood, and positively influence others' performance, thereby fostering constructive working relationships.

Course Description

The success of both individuals and teams hinges on the ability to engage in effective communication, whether in person or virtually. Every interaction shapes how you are perceived and presents an opportunity to build trust and exert positive influence. Whether engaging in one-on-one discussions, addressing a large audience, conveying information to a project team, or delivering challenging news, effective communication is a vital skill for achieving your goals.

This course enhances your ability to stay focused on your objectives, attune to your audience, and refine your message for maximum clarity and impact. Creating an environment that encourages open discussion and continuous dialogue is essential for communication success. The skills covered in this program will empower you to exercise greater choice and control in every type of conversation, influence without formal authority, and improve both the quality of relationships and overall productivity.

Objectives

This training aims to review and enhance the competencies required to achieve business objectives, both in individual performance and collaborative teamwork. Participants will acquire key skills, including:

• Developing an effective communication style with others
• Practically analyzing communication barriers and employing active techniques to prevent them
• Building supportive team relationships
• Fostering effective teamwork
• Recognizing mutual influence between individuals and teams
• Mastering various techniques for conflict management
• Shaping attitudes and behaviors toward constructive models, such as adopting an assertive posture

Training Methodology

The program is designed as an interactive experience, with participants engaging in practical exercises for over 80% of the time. Each session follows a consistent dynamic: beginning with an exercise to build awareness, followed by a mini-lecture on relevant techniques (knowledge), and concluding with practice of new tactics and skills. After each session, participants receive supporting materials covering the topics discussed.

Practical exercises are supported by mini-lectures that explain the theoretical foundations and fundamental psychological mechanisms underlying the activities conducted in the training room.

Communication skills have long been recognised as essential to professional success and many a career has stalled, faltered or stagnated thanks to a lack of communication skills. Contrary to urban myth, few of us are born with this skill, instead most have either practised or learned from mistakes. This course is designed to assist delegates to improve their communication skills and in consequence their ability to work with others.

Mediation skills are subtly yet meaningfully different. Excellent communication is a pre-requisite but more important is the ability to listen and take note of what is being said. The role of the mediator is to help parties reach a solution to their problem and to arrive at an outcome that both parties are happy to accept. Mediators avoid taking sides, making judgements or giving guidance. They are simply responsible for developing effective communications and building consensus between the parties. This course also covers the wider range of skills, in addition to communication, that are required to be an effective mediator.
