The aim of this short workshop is to explore some specific aspects of communication that can support you to have a positive impact on your work colleagues, as well as the broader health of your team or workplace.

  This workshop will look at:
  

  • Situation awareness
  • Individual differences in communication styles
  • Observation skills and reflective strategies
  • How to respond to confronting communication behaviours
  • Strategies to assist you to communicate with confidence
