A successful career is dependent on the individual having
work-related functional knowledge and skills, and the art of using

higher-order thinking and professionalism.


Owing to strong interpersonal and communication skills, Sharon

from ground zero; all of which entails collaboration with various
subject matter experts from many different countries. She works
collaboratively with her team to come up with the best ideas. She
attributes her business success to strong interpersonal and communication
skills, which have helped her achieve team cohesiveness
and deliver successful projects on time.

 


Sharon’s corporate experience was with multinationals such as
Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, and Fonterra Brands. Her
last position in academia was as the Director of Learning and
Teaching Excellence.

 


In designing this course, Sharon and team asked thousands of

incorporated their feedback. As a result, this training is highly
applicable to the Malaysian work environment.

OBJECTIVE

Unlock the full potential of your interpersonal communication skills with proven communication skills and people skills.

 

Interpersonal communication is crucial for successful outcomes and positive interactions. Professionals with strong interpersonal skills can build confidence, teamwork, and strong relationships with clients and stakeholders.

 

In today’s fast-paced environment, it is important to develop communication skills and people skills to support personal and business growth. Effective communication is the foundation of a healthy work environment and helps employees unlock their full potential.

 

It is important to recognize that differences in opinions and communication gaps are inevitable. Successful communication involves pre-empting issues, sensing undercurrent tensions through verbal and nonverbal cues, and applying emotional intelligence during difficult interactions.

 

It is equally important to build trust and positivity with others so that messages are well-received and untainted by negative perceptions. This fosters a culture of transparency and trust, which helps build a successful workplace and fosters positive work experiences.

 

While some people are born with good interpersonal skills, anyone can learn and develop them.

 

In this course, learners will practice proven techniques to enhance emotional intelligence, increase confidence and assertiveness, improve communication and persuasion skills, strengthen relationships and collaborations, and build better customer relationships. Encouraging open communication can reduce employee conflict, stress, and disruption, and transform transactional client relationships into
long-term partnerships.

 

Our course is specifically crafted to cultivate strong communication and interpersonal skills, providing participants with the necessary techniques to successfully manage complex communication challenges.

 

Designed to address specific areas of concern in the Malaysian context, this course has garnered positive feedback from numerous past participants, enabling individuals to establish stronger professional relationships and become effective communicators.
