Communication

1 DAY / 7 PD HOURS 

Every position at every level of a public accounting firm involves communicating with people. Effective communicators know that the key to success is being flexible to your audience, whether it is a one-on-one conversation, or communicating within a group. This course examines the importance of effective communication skills when interfacing with clients, colleagues, staff, partners and other key stakeholders. Participants will be introduced to a four-quadrant framework of communication styles and have the opportunity to identify and assess their own style. In becoming aware of their own personal style and discussing the advantages and limitations of each of the four styles, participants will understand how to adjust their communication approach to more effectively suit individual circumstances.

This course further examines how to use communication styles to enhance fundamental communication skills including active listening, writing and presenting. Learn effective strategies for handling difficult situations and understand adaptability and versatility in how we work with others are vital skills for success.
