Communication | Working with Others

Purpose of this workshop

To develop effective communication skills for use in diverse settings and when facing challenging situations.

Being aware of how you like to communicate and how your communication style may impact on other people is an excellent life skill to develop. Understanding your communication style can help you develop strategies to improve your own learning process and assist you in communicating more effectively with others.

Content of this workshop

 In this workshop you consider concepts from the Neuro-Linguistic Programming VAK model, which is used to explain how we gather and process verbal and non-verbal information through our Visual, Auditory & Kinaesthetic senses. You are given the opportunity to use a self-administered questionnaire to determine your preferred communication style and how it affects your interaction with other people.

By the end of this workshop you will have:

  • established whether your dominant style is usually Visual, Auditory or Kinaesthetic (VAK)
  • recognised the preferred VAK styles of others using verbal and non-verbal cues
  • explored how to interact and effectively engage with others using all of the styles

Benefits for students:

  • preparation for placement or the workplace
  • communication skills to build rapport and enhance interactions in groups and on a 1:1 basis
  • understand and recognise different communication styles and use of body language
  • identify learning methods that work best for you
