This course touches on body language as well as specific types of questioning techniques. After learning and implementing these techniques you will become a more effective communicator in all situations.

"Everyone needs to do this. One of the best courses and trainers I have ever experienced."
-Department of Education
"Role play was a very important part."
-Gates Australia P/L
"The most useful part for me was learning how to speak to a customer, understanding how to solve their problem and the right questions to ask in order to get the information needed to help the customer. This course showed a few simple steps and procedures on how to accomplish that. I would definitely recommend to anyone!"
-Mount Druitt Ethnic Communities Agency
"It was particularly interesting about responding to customers emphatically, little things like including their name when you've asked them for it. Introducing yourself and so forth that I hadn't considered."
-Mount Druitt Ethnic Communities Agency
"The trainer provided me with some ideas that I can definitely use when working with the young adults I support." "I found the course really informative and whilst it was only a 3 hour session."
-Wesley Mission Victoria
"The training pointed out things we take for granted that affect our effective listening skills."
-Speech Processing Solutions
"I really enjoyed the course and found the content really useful. I will try to put some of the techniques into practice."
"Great course and teacher. It is always good to learn/refresh theory and practice around effective communications techniques. One thing that I thought could have been added was empirical proof of the successes or failures around active listening. Joe did get us to do a couple of 'tricks', but hard data would have been nice at the beginning to anchor why the course is important."
-Department of Education NSW
"I like the active communication ways between the classes member and trainer as well as interesting activities thought the class."
Jen Retail Properties
"Very interesting, helpful, useful and informative. Thank you."
"I found the communication evolution tool the most useful part of the training. The level of specificity and accuracy which the results revealed about my own communication preferences and personality was eye opening! It was also really revealing in what it told me about my colleagues (some of which I've worked with for years). It will help me communicate and work effectively with a variety of my colleagues. I had all this light bulb moments, e.g. 'that's why this person communicates the way they do with me' or 'it's their personality...it's not me'. I will refer to the student manual regularly a long time after the course finished. The course material really resonated with me and I found the convenor very engaging and influential."
