‘Effective Communication’

At: PHD, The Telephone Exchange

5 North Crescent, London WC1E 7PH

Cost £25 + VAT for AQR Members

About the session

Have you noticed that with some people you get on so easily you could almost finish off each other’s sentences, whilst with others it’s clunky, awkward and uncomfortable? That’s because we each have different communication styles – almost akin to speaking different languages.

This workshop offers a potent and user-friendly model for helping you connect, co-operate and influence clients, research participants and colleagues (etc.), and develop on-going effective, productive relationships with them.

More specifically, you’ll come out of the workshop;

• Having learnt about the four major communication styles

• Having discovered your own communication style

• Being able to recognise the communication style of others

• Knowing how to adapt your style in order to effectively communicate with people who communicate in the other styles.

This workshop promises to be thoroughly engaging and useful. It’ll comprise of training from the facilitators, enhanced with hands-on participation from us all. A detailed workshop manual will be offered to all participants.

We’re starting at 6.30pm prompt to ensure we get the most out of the evening. Drinks and nibbles will be provided throughout. All are welcome to stay for post-workshop drinks afterwards in a nearby pub.

As with all Spark events, the workshop is designed to be stimulating, unthreatening, fun, and for all members and non-members, qual practitioners and clients. Please spread the word. Places are, however, limited to the first 28 bookings to ensure we have a workable session; please book early to avoid disappointment.
