Communicating with Impact

Understanding and employing effective communication techniques in the work environment can go a long way to helping you achieve your aims. Humans are unique in being able to use words to communicate and yet we so often get it wrong. Great communication goes beyond the words used – it’s about listening well, reading signals, structuring conversations and keeping the feedback loop going.
