Course Description
This is a 1-day course designed to improve communication between colleagues and/or clients in a project environment. Communication skills are an important tool when working out solutions for specific issues and realising individual and common objectives. We are often very concerned with the “what”: the content of the communication. But this is actually only the tip of the iceberg; the biggest and heaviest part lies underwater and is the “how”. The “how” is generally given little attention, and this is often the reason for misunderstandings and friction. The aim of this course is consequently: to raise your awareness of your own communication behaviour around others and to optimise your communication by making your skills more flexible.
Programme highlight
- Communication: what is communication, communication versus miscommunication, the difference between what I say and how I say it, my way of interpretation
- Basic rules to simplify dealing with others and with conflicts

We received very good course documentation. We even got some extra information to read at home. The course was beyond my expectations and very useful.
For sure I will recommend this course to colleagues and others.

The course 'communication' was very useful for me to improve my communication skills effectively. It was truly a great course with theory as well as workshops included based on communication principles. The workshops with real life scenarios made these skills easy to understand like "How to ask open questions instead of close questions" and "how never to use BUT and instead use AND...THEN" while communicating.
I would recommend this course to anyone in clinical research or otherwise too to improve your communications skills and get the bestout of situations. The course gives us tools that teach us to communicate on a hih-gher level on things like conflict management resolution etc. and it also give us an ability to listen and understand people better, thereby improving relatonships at work as well as outside work. Now that is a great outcome of the course!

The most important objective achieved for me was to learn more about an assertive approach (problem solving, the I-message,...) - My most positive experiences during the course were the practical examples and the interaction in the group.
