Active Listening
This Active Listening Skills course will help you improve your listening skills to build more positive and productive relationships, resolve conflicts and solve problems in the workplace and beyond.
Reading Body Language as a Sales Tool
Body language can make or break our efforts to establish long, trusting relationships. Our body language can help to reinforce and add credibility to what we say, or it can contradict our words.
Body Language for Facilitators
Body language is key to our communication, often revealing much more than what we say and how we say it. Those who are in tune to this type of communication are able to get the most out of meetings and conversations.
Communication Skills

Giving and Receiving Feedback
The thought of feedback can often be frightening, both for those providing it and those receiving it. Given untactfully or taken badly, it can be demotivating and damage working relationships.
Influencing Skills
Possessing good influencing skills means that you will also have good communication and interpersonal skills. These skills are extremely valuable when working in a team because you will need others to want to give you their help and support, rather than being forced into doing so.
Interviewing Skills
Attending an interview is always nerve-wracking, even if you're confident you have the skills to do the work. Just because you know you can do the job and would be a great fit at the company, doesn't mean the interviewer will think the same.
