Communication
Skills for Women
What makes you clam up, shut down, or
fall apart?
 Nearly all work involves interaction
with others and communication of some sort. Clear, persuasive communication-between
individuals, within teams, among departments-is a vital part of any successful
organization. Developed specifically to meet the needs of today's working
woman, this training offers valuable insights women can use to enhance
their communication style while earning the respect and cooperation of
others. As a result of this training, participants will have the confidence
to voice their ideas and suggestions...be better able to represent the
team, department or organization during external or internal functions...complete
projects quickly, with fewer hassles and less stress. Your entire organization
will operate more seamlessly, as people put their new communication skills
and strategies into action.
This course provides hard-skills training in how to:
 |
Use the techniques of influence and persuasion to build productive and rewarding relationships
with all kinds of people
|
|
|
Control your emotions and stay composed and effective while under pressure
|
|
|
Overcome fears of public speaking, and voice your thoughts and opinions readily
|

communication is clear and direct.
