Rhetoric for managers and leaders

Lifelong learning for working professionals

Course Summary

This course is for those who want to communicate at a consistent, high level on a daily basis to avoid the ambiguity, misinterpretation and misunderstandings that cost so much time, money and frustration.
It is for managers and leaders with the drive and courage to develop new communication skills to inspire and motivate employees to achieve great things.
As a manager and leader, you have a position and responsibility where everyone’s eyes and ears are on you because your message and decisions will affect employees, customers and other parties.
The recipients are waiting for what you are going to say and interpret what you say, or don’t say.
Therefore, being confident, clear, responsive and creating understanding are important keys to getting through.
How would it feel if you could get your message across more often by capturing the recipients’ interest right away and then keeping their attention all the way?
How would it affect employees’ trust in you as a manager and leader if you learned techniques to listen and understand their needs and motivation better?
What development and results could you achieve if you and your team communicated at a high level on a daily basis?
