Management Skills: Communicating for Impact, a Core Skill

Description

Introduction to: Management Skills: Communicating for Impact, a Core Skill

What makes this course different? The course uses as a core concept a communication model the instructor learned in high school sixty years ago. That alone is unique, but there is more. Many of the tools were created by Dr. Brown and all presented tools were used and taught by him in communication workshops. The material in this course has created a well worn path to excellence.

Poor communication wastes time, causes confusion and frustration, leads to bad decisions, hurts feelings, costs money, and is usually boring. On the plus side, good communication is engaging, informative, actionable, interesting, quick, and of course, clear and simple. What's yours like?

This is a skill building course to enable everyone in an organization, a business, family, any group, to communicate expertly. This means being able to organize ideas, express them accurately and understandably, and be able to elicit feedback so the communication loop is closed. From appreciative inquiry to giving bad news, all the important challenges of effective communicating are covered. You will be able to handle just about any situation and have a good chance at handling every situation.

Both concepts and skills are taught. In addition, a section will teach the basics of good editing by working on a practical exercise. 

Bob has written two dozen books and given many presentations to large and small groups. But in a college public speaking course, he froze giving his final exam speech. completely forgetting what he was supposed to say. He didn't die on stage like he expected to do but continued studying public speaking (and writing) and became quite good at both.

Come join him. Explore how to express ideas and feelings. Journey down the road of connecting with others in the most delightful ways.
