Professional communication - Sell me this pen
Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know. – Jim Rohn
What does selling a pen even mean? The mentioned pen can be anything – a literal pen, any other object, an idea, or even yourself. This workshop will equip you with necessary knowledge and lead you through practical exercises in order to ensure you communicate successfully in any professional environment after completing it.
From an entry interview for your first job to handing in your notice about leaving to your boss, certain communication skills will always have to be an ace upon your sleeve. Idea pitching, negotiating, selling, conflict solving and team work all require appropriate choice of attitude, expression and words – not to mention that nuances are usually of crucial importance.
Let’s not forget about the significance of written communication – sometimes a well-written resume, cover letter and e-mail can impact your career in unimaginable ways. At the end of the day it’s up to you to decide whether you’re going to master your communication skills, both written and spoken, or deal with the risk of missing a couple of great opportunities.
If you have aversion toward this risk, but not toward learning and practicing with other curious and eager participants, join this workshop and find out how to incorporate the most important communication practices and cues into your own and authentic communication style!
