“Still, it’s hard to overestimate what these trainings give you in life. You become stronger, healthier and more resilient. You don’t get overwhelmed by nonsense or anything! And also, I feel like I’ve become more myself and I like myself.”, - Evgenia.
“Suddenly everything became stress-free. If I want to communicate, I communicate, if I don’t want to, then I don’t communicate. Although before it was “necessary”, now whether I want it or not. And life suddenly became wonderful,”- Ivan.
“This wonderful course allowed me to increase my self-esteem. I think I’m just happy,”- Irina.
“I have gained confidence for myself where before I could not even open my mouth, that is, in other words, say a word, at least in my own defense. Now at least I can communicate with everyone who interests me. I can calmly watch any person straight in the eye and express your opinion about him,”- Catherine.
Understanding
Does it ever happen that you are forced to communicate with someone, for example, a client or a loved one, but you cannot find a common language? Or someone refuses to understand you. Or it's embarrassing" an awkward silence", which hangs during a conversation, and you feverishly try to find a topic to continue the conversation. Or maybe, before going to bed, the thoughts “then you should have said it differently” flash through your head.
The skill of communication also lies in the ability convey to the interlocutor necessary information. It happens that when we address another person, we say one thing, but think something else. If you ask anyone: "Where do you work?"- and at this time you yourself are thinking about where to go for lunch, then there is a chance that this person will misunderstand your question (it is possible that subconsciously he heard something like: "What restaurant do you work at?").
Conversely, there is a large body of evidence that communication efficiency can sometimes increase dramatically as a result of explicit intent. You've probably encountered this yourself when you wanted to address someone or just looked intently at a nice person, and he suddenly turned to you. Be on the same wavelength and even at a glance it’s quite possible - such a skill can also be trained!
After this course:
- You will dramatically increase your ability convey to other people your thoughts and you will become much clearer and more constructive (especially useful for managers).
- You'll really learn understand others people and you will receive their favor and support (extremely important for businessmen).
You will practice speaking and listening correctly!
