COLOURED COMMUNICATION STYLES WORKSHOP
DURATION: 2 DAYS


INTRODUCTION
The Coloured Communication Styles Workshop is a comprehensive two-day workshop designed to improve communication and interpersonal effectiveness through the understanding and application of the Coloured Communication Styles Assessment. This innovative program delves into the preferred styles of individuals, learn about neuroplasticity (nature & nurture), enabling participants to gain awareness of their own communication preferences and adapt to others' styles to foster better relationships, more effective leadership, and collaboration, and preventing potential conflicts.
