About the RDCISS Program
Communication at work has a purpose: a decision, an agreement, a change in behavior. The program focuses on getting results from conversations: setting an outcome before you speak, structuring an argument, using evidence, reading the other side, influencing people you do not manage, negotiating small agreements and following through. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, it suits teams that need agreement from others to do their work.
What You Will Learn
- Set a clear outcome before every important conversation
- Structure arguments that hold up to challenge
- Apply evidence and examples that persuade
- Identify the interests behind a stated position
- Build influence with people you do not manage
- Handle objections and pushback without losing ground
- Manage everyday negotiations toward workable agreements
- Measure whether the conversation achieved its purpose
