THE MODULE
If you’re wondering why people don’t listen to you what you’re saying, it’s probably because they’re ‘listening’ to things other than your words.
We speak all the time. Sometimes we’re effective, sometimes we’re not. Spoken communication is the at the heart of the modern enterprise. And speaking well is a skill, like any other. Which means it can be learnt. There are rules, principles and secrets that define what effective communication is.
This course – divided into 3 short and intensive modules, will help you learn the basics of how to say what you want to say, in a manner that brings about the results that you want: from being heard to articulating decisions, presenting to stakeholders effectively, pitching or creating buy-ins.
The course will help you identify your speech patterns, help you sharpen your message and help you listen better. Each module will be conducted in the learning-by-doing format using a little bit of theory and plenty of exercises.

- Basic – 2 weeks long, weekends or after office hours
