Doing business in 2025 is very different from how many of us operated even five years ago, especially when it comes to how we connect with employees and market to customers. In response to this, the 40 hour Workplace Education program Communication Skills for Leaders is designed to support you in navigating through the changing trends around how people communicate in the workplace and marketplace. This program is the cornerstone in the process of attracting and retaining the right employees.

*For those interested in taking a Transformational Leadership program in future, this is one of the prerequisite foundational programs.

Topics covered during this program may include:

  • Connecting with employees and customers from different generations; 
  • Dealing with difficult people and having effective difficult conversations;
  • Building a team that functions and produces;
  • Maximizing your workplace and customer relationships;
  • Adapting to various communication styles;
  • Understanding how to use nonverbal communication to enhance your interactions with others;
  • Knowing how to minimize workplace drama.

The program will be customized following one-on-one interviews with the participants.

Start Date: Thursday, April 17, 2025

Time:  8:30am - 12:30pm

Classes will run every Thursday for 10 consecutive weeks.  There are additional requirements for the Zoom online programs, as follows: The program must be taken on a computer, laptop, or tablet; phones will not be an accepted device. Participants must have a high speed Internet connection (no dial up), and hardwired is preferred to wi-fi. A headset or earbuds must be used, and the participant must have a webcam, if no camera in their laptop, with the camera left on; video participation is a requirement, to ensure the connection to the instructor and other participants. A quiet place to focus is required, free from distractions. These details will be part of the INA process.

Registration is not confirmation of acceptance in the program; you will be contacted as to your status after an individual needs assessment, and no later than April 11, 2025.

"What a great course! Debbie provided us with a useful framework on how to effectively communicate. The skills she has taught us can easily be transferred from the workplace to our personal lives as well. I have every confidence to tackle hard conversations and approach them with truth and grace. Debbie’s way of communicating is inspiring and her approach to communication can change our relationships with our peers, friends and family." Kirstene Reyes, Intentionally Tiny Custom Homes

TESTIMONIALS

"The course content has been very applicable to staff training requirements for our small business, and in combination with the scheduling flexibility and cost, I highly recommend Workplace Education training for employee skills development. Our staff was implementing the skills obtained from Workplace Education, on local and export projects, while participating in the course.

The instructors customize the course material not only from their own real-world experience, but also based upon the class composition. The instructors strive to incorporate the objectives of the individual participants towards the common benefits of the entire group."
