Communication skills have long been recognised as essential to professional success, and many a career has stalled, faltered or stagnated due to a lack of these abilities. Contrary to popular belief, few of us are born with this skill; instead, most either practise it or learn from their mistakes. This course is designed to help participants improve their communication skills and, consequently, enhance their ability to work effectively with others.

Mediation skills are subtly yet meaningfully different. While excellent communication is a prerequisite, what matters even more is the ability to listen attentively and take note of what is being said. The role of the mediator is to help parties reach a solution to their problem and arrive at an outcome that both are happy to accept. Mediators avoid taking sides, making judgements, or giving direct guidance. Their primary responsibility is to foster effective communication and build consensus between the parties. This course also covers the broader range of skills, beyond communication, required to be an effective mediator.
