Effective Communication Training Programs
DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Most experts agree that developing good communication skills is one of the most important soft skills. These skills are essential to building and sustaining interpersonal relationships and improving a person’s social and career status.
According to Bob Gottfried, Ph.D., the clinical director of ACE clinics, while most people communicate in one form or another, not many communicate effectively. Ineffective communication can lead to deteriorating relationships and frustration resulting from underachievement, translating to internal and external conflicts and chronic stress. He also explains that one of the biggest mistakes people make in this field of human behaviour is expecting others to adjust to their communication style when they should do the exact opposite: adapt to other people’s communication styles to achieve their desired outcomes.
While some people possess a natural talent to communicate effectively, others have to learn and develop it, something that can be achieved with the appropriate training, personal guidance and coaching.
ASK YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING
Effective communication helps with building relationships and improving our lives in many ways. Are your skills good enough to support your meaningful relationships and your career? Are you confident enough to go after your goals? Are you comfortable communicating with difficult people? Do you feel, at times, that your voice is not heard? Do you have problems connecting with people? Do you feel uncomfortable talking to strangers?
Are you comfortable resolving various conflicts in your life? Persuade others about your ideas? Be assertive enough to say ‘no’ when required? Ask for a raise?
If you have been experiencing difficulties in any of the above areas, you can significantly benefit from our program.
OUR PROGRAM
At the ACE clinics, we are offering a unique, individualized program to teach people of all ages (from teenagers to mature adults) how to master practical communication skills and apply them successfully in everyday situations.
You, too, can learn to hone your communication, conflict resolution, and negotiation skills with our one-on-one training program. Our unique approach is second to none. It includes methods developed at the clinic that have helped many individuals such as yourself improve their relationships, resolve conflicts with others, become more confident and assertive, and enhance their lives overall.
We will start by assessing your communication style, strengths and weaknesses, then adjust the training according to this thorough analysis
WHAT vs. HOW
Unlike books and many training programs that only describe basic communication skills, telling you what to do, our programs will teach you how to apply the skills in real-life situations. It is a very hands-on, practical program that will not just teach you basic communication skills but do a lot more in terms of improving your overall abilities in this area. Our program covers advanced know-how, from understanding how people think, behave, communicate and make decisions, to elegantly persuade people to make decisions and choices in sync with your desired outcomes. From being able to read people to be able to talk to strangers, to negotiating agreements, new arrangements, and even a salary increase. You will learn how to go from where you are right now all the way to complete mastery.
Can you imagine yourself developing such a high level of communication ability? Can you imagine how that would impact your life?
Our hands-on approach will teach you how to apply the skills learned during the program and apply them in your own personal situations. During the sessions, your present relationships will be reviewed, and a personal strategy will be created for each one of the relationships that you are interested in improving, whether personal or professional.
We will also identify any mental blocks that may get in the way of achieving your goals. There is quite a bit more included in the program. Please see the Summary of Benefits” section below, and remember: no matter how old you are, no matter where you are in your life, it is never too late to start.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR TEENAGERS
Our specialized program for teenagers teaches them how to communicate not just with peers but also with adults, such as parents and teachers. They will learn how to stand their ground when needed, be more cooperative when it is beneficial, be more persuasive, and prioritize their goals and values.
They also learn how to do well during job interviews, and almost without exceptions, always get the job they are interested in. They will learn how to manage stress and how to improve self-regulation.
Teenagers who have trained with us are more assertive and more confident. They are more responsible and know how to balance fun and duties, short-term and long-term goals. They also do well academically.
School teaches kids how to make a living but not how to live life happily, comfortably and responsibly. Our program provides the missing link.
We do not know of any program that is so comprehensive yet practical and easy to follow. Please get in touch with us for more details
