Overview
We’re all communicating constantly with our words, body language and actions. And yet, communicating in a way that cuts through the noise and drives action takes skill and practice.
In fact, in striving to be professional, we often mask the individuality and authenticity that communicating for influence and impact requires. We can all work to develop a stronger language of leadership.
Led by Dr Zina O’Leary, this impactful communication course gets to the core of what’s important AND what’s holding you back. You’ll explore communication strategies, identify and tackle your fears and discover your authentic communication style.

- study best practice communication strategies
