Communication Skills for International Projects

Communication skills

Communication that keeps everyone on the same page

Project managers and team leaders face a huge range of communication challenges on a daily basis. Not only do they have to speak convincingly with stakeholders at all levels, but they also have to communicate the need for resources, clarify the complications of risks and sell tough decisions. Working with different nationalities and cultures heightens complexity and means participants often hold different expectations or priorities.

Our two-day intensive seminar will help you develop skills to target communications effectively to different audiences, and to communicate emotional topics such as risks, changes and clashes. You will also have the chance to assess your persuasive ability and decide which types of communication work best at which stages of project team development.
