Business English for Non-Native Speakers Training Course

Target Audience

This course is designed for individual contributors, managers, and team leaders whose professional success relies on the ability to communicate clearly, ensure their message is understood, influence others' performance, and build positive working relationships.

Course Description

Success for both individuals and teams hinges on the capacity to communicate effectively, whether in face-to-face settings or virtually. Every interaction shapes how you are perceived and offers an opportunity to build trust and exert positive influence. Whether engaging in a one-on-one conversation, presenting to a large audience, conveying information to a project team, or delivering challenging feedback, effective communication is a critical skill for achieving your goals.

This course enhances your ability to stay focused on your objectives, tune into your audience, and craft messages for clarity and impact. Creating an environment that encourages open discussion and continuous dialogue is essential for communication success. The skills covered will empower you to exercise choice and control in every type of conversation, influence without formal authority, and improve both relationships and productivity.

Goal

The training aims to review and enhance the competencies required to meet business objectives, both in individual tasks and teamwork, particularly by equipping participants with skills such as:

• Developing an effective communication style with others
• Practically analyzing communication barriers and applying active techniques to prevent them
• Establishing supportive collaborative relationships
• Fostering effective teamwork
• Understanding mutual influence between teams and units
• Mastering various techniques for conflict management
• Modifying attitudes and behaviors to adopt constructive (e.g., assertive) postures

Method of work

The training is designed as an interactive experience, with participants actively engaged for over 80% of the time. Each session follows a consistent dynamic: opening with exercises to build awareness, followed by a mini-lecture on techniques (knowledge acquisition), and concluding with practice of new tactics and techniques (skill development). After each session, participants receive support materials related to the topics discussed.

Practical materials are reinforced through mini-lectures that explain the theoretical foundations and fundamental psychological mechanisms, which participants experience firsthand in the training room.

Effective communication is widely acknowledged as a cornerstone of professional achievement. Many careers have stalled or stagnated simply due to inadequate communication abilities. Contrary to popular belief, few individuals are naturally gifted with this skill; rather, most develop it through practice or by learning from past mistakes. This course aims to help participants enhance their communication capabilities, thereby improving their ability to collaborate effectively with others.

While mediation skills share similarities, they are distinct. Although excellent communication is fundamental, the crucial differentiator is the ability to listen actively and truly comprehend what is being conveyed. A mediator’s primary role is to facilitate a resolution that satisfies both parties. Mediators remain neutral, avoiding bias, judgment, or direct advice. Their responsibility lies in fostering effective dialogue and building consensus. This program also explores the broader set of competencies required to be an effective mediator, extending beyond mere communication.
