Communication skills have long been recognised as essential to professional success and many a career has stalled, faltered or stagnated thanks to a lack of communication skills. Contrary to urban myth, few of us are born with this skill, instead most have either practised or learned from mistakes. This course is designed to assist delegates to improve their communication skills and in consequence their ability to work with others. Mediation skills are subtly yet meaningfully different. Excellent communication is a pre-requisite but more important is the ability to listen and take note of what is being said. The role of the mediator is to help parties reach a solution to their problem and to arrive at an outcome that both parties are happy to accept. Mediators avoid taking sides, making judgements or giving guidance. They are simply responsible for developing effective communications and building consensus between the parties. This course also covers the wider range of skills, in addition to communication, that are required to be an effective mediator.

In an increasingly globalised world, we work in more multicultural environments where conflicts between individuals and groups are possible. The fundamental belief behind conflict resolution is that conflicts are unavoidable but that they are manageable.

In our everyday life, we encounter many occasions where we consciously or unconsciously (with family members, friends, clients, business partners) manage conflicts. Mastering conflict resolution helps to resolve conflicts effectively, as well as helping us to communicate better, persuade efficiently, improve business results as well as enhancing organisational and personal behavior and performance.

We often think we need to learn a new process, tip or trick in order to impress someone, get promoted or produce excellence. However, usually we need to change our beliefs. Our beliefs are chronic thoughts that we think often that then subconsciously restrict and control how we act. This short course shows how to hack your behaviours by jumping to the belief part of the cycle not the behaviour part - that will naturally follow. We mistakenly believe - we act a certain way (do), which gives us these great results (get) and then we gain the ability to 'be' this new person (be.) However, the reality is we need to become the person fist - adopt the standards and worldview/beliefs of that person and then our behaviours (actions) will naturally fall in line and the improved results will follow.
