"Information is giving out; communication is breaking through." — Sydney J. Harris

This 1-week* intensive course is a fun and highly interactive deep-dive into talking to people strategically — to get what you want and make things better for everyone at the table (yourself included).

Do you want to…

  • land your dream job — and get paid what you're actually worth?
  • convince the right people that you and your ideas are the ones they should bet on?
  • have better relationships with your family, friends, and partner?
  • finally feel like you can say what you mean and understand what others are really telling you?

The answer to all of the above is the same: better communication.

And here's the good news:
It's not some magic gift you're either born with or not.
It's a skill that you can learn!

This is a skills course, not a language course (no grammar drills, promise!). We'll break down the specific techniques, moves, and even sentences you can use to communicate and negotiate successfully. By the end, you'll walk away with a communication toolbox packed with tips, tricks, and tools you'll keep using for the rest of your life.

This class is in English. But the techniques and tools can be used in EVERY language.

Sign up, and let's teach you how to talk yourself into the future you want.

Work Load

 

The course is 1-week from Sept. 07.-11. HOWEVER, we may have one or two short intro/welcome meetings on both/either Thursday 03.09 and/or Friday 04.09. This would just be so that our “intensive” week is shorter (fewer hours per day) and easier for everyone (work spread out over 9 days instead of 5). We will schedule our early meeting(s) –if possible– as a class on Moodle.

Our time table will vary day-to-day: between 2.5-4.5 hours per day.
(Short meetings the previous week would be ca. 90 minutes)
