Interpersonal Communications: The ProcessRelationships, both personal and professional, develop through the interaction that you have with others. They can be good or bad--but good relationships mean less conflict and more understanding.John Donne, the English poet, famously said: "No man is an island." This is particularly true in the working environment. Achieving your goals and objectives often depends on your ability to gain assistance, cooperation, and collaboration from: * your staff, * your colleagues and co-workers, * your boss, * your clients.To obtain this support, you need an ability to communicate with others. Interpersonal communication is the process of interacting with others, sharing information, thoughts, ideas, and feelings.However, not everyone communicates in exactly the same way. This is why misunderstandings occur.The Mechanics of Communicating EffectivelyThe process of interpersonal communication is more complex than one person speaking and another listening. Your face-to-face communication utilizes two elements to convey your message: * the words you use - the verbal content, * how you sound and your body language - the non-verbal content.Only seven percent of a person's understanding of a message is derived from the message's verbal content. The non-verbal element delivers the remaining 93 percent.In this course, you will learn how to control and maximize the effectiveness of this vital part of your interpersonal communication.Workplace Communication SkillsInterpersonal communication is the lifeblood of business. It's the means by which you, your colleagues, your staff, your managers, and your clients share information, experience, and ideas.Interpersonal communication is the foundation for all of your working relationships.Fortunately, some information is easy to give. Examples include: * information that pleases the receiver, * praise, * agreement with people's requests or opinions, * information that the receiver wants to hear.However, it's much more difficult to voice disagreement or disapproval, as communication of this type of information can severely damage working relationships. In this course, you will be shown how to handle such situations effectively, using assertive communication skills.Communicating for ResultsWhatever your job role, your company expects you to achieve results. Accomplishment of your goals, aims, and objectives requires the cooperation, collaboration, or agreement of your: * colleagues and co-workers, * customers and clients, * managers and senior executives.Good communication skills are vital to obtaining support from others. In fact, your communication skills often make the difference between success and failure of your goal.The skill is knowing how to vary your communication to suit the receiver, the purpose, and the occasion.Leadership Communication SkillsNot everyone is a natural leader, but that's not necessarily a drawback. In fact, sometimes personal magnetism can actually work against you in a leadership role.Today's business world is knowledge-driven, and organizations have to innovate to succeed. In such a competitive environment, people look to their leaders for more than just personality.Charisma may make a great impact on people, but it doesn't give them the answers they want or need. More than ever, leadership now relies on knowledge--and this can be acquired.In this course, you will learn what attributes people look for in leaders, and how to communicate that you possess them.
