    Embrace the reality of human interactions

    Course Introduction

    In our modern age, we’re steadily loosing the art of human interaction

    From marketing to management, from sales to operations… The ability to effectively communicate face-to-face and get the best out of others is as important in life as it is in business. This is a soft skills course designed for those who want to improve their face-to face communication skills.

     

    Course Outline

    People often have to move between impersonal technology and the close reality of human interactions. Many scenarios are at play – there may be escalating issues, sensitive feelings, urgencies, authority and power and more – these situations require that business people need to meet face to face in the same room to exchange information and resolve issues.  Alternatively, we may need to simulate face-to-face communication with individuals in distant countries/locations (e.g. video conferencing).  Do not be fooled – face-to-face communication skills are a key driver to career success and positive outcomes, especially in the modern age.
