Your success in personal life, relationships and business will be determined by your ability to communicate effectively with others. “Social intelligence” or the ability to interact, converse, negotiate with, and persuade others, is the most highly paid and respected form of intelligence you can have, and this intelligence can be developed.
Your ability to be charming, to be a genuinely likeable and pleasant person, will likely open more doors for you than any other quality. The more people like you and think of you warmly, the more they will want to see you, listen to you, be in your presence and invite you into theirs. The ability to communicate with confidence, clarity and conciseness is thus highly valued.
In an increasingly complex world, knowing how to project ourselves in the eyes of others is no longer an important skill to learn. It is an essential skill to master. As the saying goes, ‘first impression counts’.
‘The Art of Conversation’ is a fun-filled practical hands-on workshop that incorporates the best from different fields. Through a series of games, discussions, demonstrations and hot seat presentations, it aims to help participants make a substantial difference to their communication, relationship, leadership and teamwork skills.
The skills taught can be applied in all aspects of life – from personal and family life to work life. With carefully selected topics including Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, participants will walk away feeling they have achieved that breakthrough to building better rapport with others.
