Communicating with people from different generations, different backgrounds and levels can be very challenging! As a leader, how often are you faced with difficult situations where the atmosphere at work gets very unpleasant because of personality conflicts and misunderstandings? How do you drive change and boost productivity under these conditions? How do you remain calm when dealing with resisting people?  Which tactics do you use to get people's buy-in and goodwill when they don't want to listen to you?

No matter how compelling the vision or how brilliant the strategy, without leadership communication, there is no execution. The ability to get buy-in, gain trust and inspire loyalty isn't a skill you are born with. It is something you can learn. With this MCE programme you can learn how to inspire others when giving speeches and presentations and strengthen your leadership communication skills modeled on the world's best communicators. You'll learn practical techniques to shape your leadership messages, develop an authentic leadership voice and engage in powerful conversations that achieve results.
