Conversation Skills Training For The Workplace
TrainSMART’s custom-tailored, one-day conversation skills workshop examines how leaders coach, communicate, praise, and model crucial conversational behaviors.
The purpose of TrainSMART’s conversation skills training is to provide you with techniques to enhance effective communication skills and increase your results during critical conversations.
Improve tact and confidence by planning and rehearsing the conversation (which will be practiced using specific strategies) that can create mutual respect and understanding and open channels of communication.
ConversationSMART© addresses critical conversations; those that involve emotions and/or high risks. Planning and rehearsing the conversation will provide you with positive results.
