WHY THIS COURSE IS IMPORTANT?
In the context of a highly competitive Market environment, the need for professionalism in every field of activity, cannot be over - emphasized. This should apply to all levels of employees as professionalism entails:
• Acquisition of Knowledge
• Development of Skills
• Adherence to Disciplines
• Application of Leadership Qualities
We spend at least one third of our day at our Offices or Workplaces – approximately eight hours. If one looks at the time spent in Office or the Workplace objectively, over 80% of the time is spent in communicating. The total time thus spent, can be can be categorized into 5 areas as follows:
• Thinking
• Talking
• Listening
• Agreeing
• Disagreeing
In a Team where communication is weak, one often notices indifference, lethargy, apathy and hostility among the Team Members. Thus, priority attention must be given to ensure that Team Members understand the principles, function, systems and the barriers of Communication.
By becoming more professional in the art of effective Communication, the Manager or Team Member inevitably improves his productivity, which is vital for the profitability of operations.
Communication is dynamic. It is a two - way process.
It is imperative that all personnel clearly understand the new, dynamic role they have to play as effective Communicators. Tact, Diplomacy, Courtesy and Respect in dealing with people, backed by a genuine desire to be understood clearly, are the distinguishing characteristics of professional Communicators.
This highly interactive Training Seminar has been carefully developed over the years to dramatically expand knowledge and install these concepts in the minds of personnel. The methodology employed will facilitate a high level of interaction and develop a positive attitude towards becoming more effective Communicators.
