There are 3 modules in this course
This module provides learners with the fundamental skills and frameworks needed to communicate clearly, confidently, and professionally in any workplace setting. Participants begin by exploring what communication truly is and why it plays a central role in building relationships, solving problems, and achieving organisational goals. They examine different communication styles and learn how to adapt their approach to suit diverse personalities, teams, and contexts. Learners also gain an understanding of the various means of communication from written and verbal channels to digital tools and how to choose the most effective method for delivering their message. A key focus of the module is non-verbal communication, including body language, tone, and facial expressions, which often influence understanding more than words themselves. The module further equips learners with strategies for navigating difficult conversations at work. Through practical examples and actionable techniques, they learn how to stay calm, structure their message, listen with empathy, and move toward productive outcomes even in challenging situations.

Participants begin by exploring what leadership truly means beyond titles and roles and examine the qualities that distinguish impactful leaders from those who simply manage tasks. Learners are introduced to a range of leadership styles and archetypes, gaining insight into when each approach is most effective and how to adapt their own style to different contexts and team needs. Through case studies and interactive exercises, they analyse real-world leadership scenarios and reflect on their developing leadership identity. A key part of the module focuses on body language and nonverbal communication, helping learners understand how presence, tone, and behaviour influence trust and credibility. The module also addresses the crucial distinction between leaders and managers, highlighting how each contributes uniquely to organisational success.
