Business English for Non-Native Speakers Training Course

Who should attend

This course is designed for individual contributors, managers, and team leaders whose success hinges on their capacity to communicate effectively, ensure they are understood, and positively influence the performance of others while fostering strong working relationships.

Course description

The success of both individuals and teams relies heavily on the ability to communicate with others, whether in person or through virtual means. Each interaction shapes how you are perceived and provides an opportunity to build trust and exert a positive influence. Whether presenting one-on-one or to a large audience, conveying information to a project team, or delivering challenging messages, effective communication is a crucial skill for achieving your goals.

This course enhances your ability to focus on your objectives, connect with your audience, and craft your message for clarity and impact. Creating an environment that encourages open discussion and ongoing dialogue is essential for successful communication. The communication skills you will learn in this course will help you take control of every conversation, influence without authority, and improve the quality of relationships and productivity.

Goal

The training aims to review and enhance the competencies necessary for achieving business objectives, both individually and as part of a team. This will be accomplished by equipping participants with skills such as:

• Developing an effective communication style with colleagues
• Analyzing common barriers to communication and employing active techniques to prevent them
• Building supportive relationships within the team
• Fostering effective teamwork
• Understanding the mutual influence between team members and units
• Mastering various techniques for conflict management
• Adopting constructive attitudes and behaviors, such as assertive communication

Method of Work

The training is designed to be highly interactive, with participants actively engaging for over 80% of the time. Each session follows a consistent structure: starting with an exercise to build awareness, followed by a brief lecture on relevant techniques, and then practicing these new tactics and skills. At the conclusion of each session, participants are provided with support materials covering the topics discussed.

Practical material is presented alongside mini-lectures that explain the theoretical foundations and fundamental psychological mechanisms experienced during training sessions.

Communication skills have long been recognized as crucial for professional success, and many careers have faltered or stagnated due to a lack of these skills. Contrary to popular belief, few people are naturally gifted with this ability; most develop it through practice or by learning from their mistakes. This course is designed to help participants enhance their communication skills, thereby improving their ability to collaborate effectively with others.

Mediation skills, while closely related, have distinct differences. While excellent communication is a fundamental requirement, the key lies in the ability to listen attentively and understand what is being said. The role of a mediator is to assist parties in finding a solution to their problems and reaching an agreement that both can accept. Mediators refrain from taking sides, making judgments, or offering guidance. Instead, they focus on fostering effective communication and building consensus between the parties. This course also covers the broader range of skills needed to be an effective mediator, beyond just communication.
