Communication Skills

"We cannot not communicate" as Paul Watzlawick said a long time ago and as "every behavior is communication, it is useful to think about the power of it, the power of words that we possess and can use in influencing others. This course is aimed at developing some fundamental aspects of communication skills, such as forming first impression (JOHARI model), polishing nonverbal communication, active listening and specificities of communication of non-native speakers in their usage of appropriate language. The participants will identify their communication style based on MBTI typology and will share their experience in coping with other styles. They will receive feedback from others as well as from the tutor and will focus on understanding their distinct communication styles.
