Summary:

You want to be effective with every client, but sometimes it feels like you are not only ineffective, you might even be bothersome. This training will help you improve your communication skills. You will learn to listen better, hear what your client is really saying, and therefore know what kind of information will really help them. Plus, you’ll get to test the techniques presented, so the next time you meet with your client, you’ll be ready to listen and be heard.
The training consists of two interviews, a coaching session on basic communication skills and a discussion of these skills, a short quiz and a practice session to gain experience.

Course developed February 2008. Course reviewed March 2011. Course updated November 2013.
