How to Engage and Understand Others
Learn how to engage and understand others by recognising that communication meaning comes from the recipient, not the sender. This course teaches how to build rapport and trust through four communication styles (Analytic, Expressive, Amiable, Driver) and flexing your style to match perspectives.
Develop skills for managing difficult conversations with others by focusing on interests not positions, using “I” statements, and building consistent relationships. Create safe environments for engagement through understanding diverse communication styles and mutual understanding.
