  • Barriers to effective communication.
  • Match communication methods to the content of the communication.

  • 3 steps to assertive behaviour to encourage others to ‘give of their best’ and to produce workable compromises.
  • Developing and maintaining rapport through body language and positive words/phrases.
  • Active listening skills.
  • 15 assertive tactics, including broken record and self-disclosure techniques.

The course material is designed to be interactive with discussion, formal input, written exercises and role play.
