Learn to express ideas clearly, listen actively and adapt your message to different people, so conversations, emails and meetings at work produce the results you intend.
Effective Communication Skills is a practical course on the everyday exchanges that decide how well work gets done: conversations with colleagues, instructions to team members, updates to managers and emails to clients. Participants learn how messages are sent, filtered and received, why misunderstandings happen, and how to plan what they say so it is clear, concise and suited to the listener. The course covers verbal, non-verbal and written communication and gives equal weight to listening and questioning.
Sessions are interactive and built around short exercises, role plays and workplace scenarios that participants bring from their own roles. Each person practices structuring a message, giving and receiving feedback, and handling a difficult conversation, then reflects on what worked. The trainer offers individual observations throughout. The course runs as a public class in Doha, live online, or as an in-house program for organizations that want to raise communication standards across a department or team.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Explain the communication process and the common barriers that distort workplace messages
