Course description

Project Communication Skills (Virtual)

Communication is the single most critical project success factor. When effective, projects get executed on time, within budget, and with objectives being met. But that isn’t all. Strong communication also nurtures healthy team relationships. And in today’s highly diverse world, where projects are often fast-paced, complex, and virtual, that is more important than ever. Strong communication skills foster cultural awareness, trust, and empathy. Together, they contribute greatly to project success—and ultimately, to future project success.

In this course, participants will actively explore best communication practices from a variety of perspectives: in-person, virtual, electronic, and via formal project documentation. In order to be transformative, however, those perspectives will be filtered further through the lens of their formal, personalized assessment. It is a powerful tool which identifies individuals’ internal needs and priorities. It translates those into descriptive profiles and reports, gifting users with valuable information about themselves and others. Paired with the course’s real-world activities, it will provide uniquely strategic opportunities for communicating effectively and meaningfully—and with less conflict, both personally and professionally.
