Communicate With Impact Training Course

Who Should Attend

This training is designed for individual contributors, managers, and team leaders whose success depends on their ability to communicate clearly, be understood, and influence the performance of others, while fostering positive working relationships for government.

Course Description

The success of individuals and teams in a public sector environment hinges on the ability to effectively communicate with others, both in person and virtually. Each interaction determines how you are perceived and presents an opportunity to build trust and exert positive influence. Whether presenting one-on-one or to a large audience, conveying information to a project team, or delivering difficult messages, effective communication is essential for achieving your objectives.

This course enhances your ability to focus on your desired outcomes, understand your audience, and craft clear and impactful messages. Your capacity to create an environment that encourages open discussion and ongoing dialogue is critical for successful communication. The skills covered in this training will improve your ability to exercise choice and control in every conversation, influence without authority, and enhance the quality of relationships and productivity within your team and across the organization.

Goal

The training will focus on reviewing and enhancing the competencies necessary to achieve business objectives, both individually and as part of a team. This will be accomplished through the acquisition of skills by participants, including:

• Developing an effective communication style with colleagues
• Analyzing practical barriers to communication and employing active techniques to prevent them
• Building supportive relationships within teams
• Promoting effective teamwork
• Gaining awareness of mutual influence between team members and units
• Mastering various techniques for managing conflict
• Adjusting attitudes and behaviors to model constructive approaches (e.g., assertive posture)

Method of Work

The training is designed as an interactive experience, with participants actively engaged for over 80% of the time. Each session follows a consistent structure: opening exercises to build awareness, mini-lectures on techniques to enhance knowledge, and practical sessions to develop skills. At the conclusion of each session, participants will receive support materials covering the topics discussed.

Practical material is summarized with a mini lecture that explains the theoretical foundation and fundamental psychological mechanisms experienced by participants during training sessions for government use.

Communication skills have long been recognized as essential to professional success, and many careers have stalled, faltered, or stagnated due to a lack of these skills. Contrary to popular belief, few individuals are born with strong communication abilities; instead, most develop these skills through practice and learning from mistakes. This course is designed to assist participants in improving their communication skills, thereby enhancing their ability to work effectively with others.

Mediation skills, while related, have distinct differences that are both subtle and meaningful. Excellent communication is a prerequisite, but the ability to listen and understand what is being said is even more crucial. The role of the mediator is to facilitate parties in reaching a mutually acceptable solution to their problem without taking sides, making judgments, or providing guidance. Mediators focus on developing effective communication and building consensus between the parties. This course also covers the broader range of skills, beyond communication, that are necessary for being an effective mediator, with specific applications for government contexts.
