COURSE CONTENT:                      
 
Understanding the world we live in. This lesson allows us to look at the reasons why we all see the world so differently. It provides an opportunity for us to consider how we perceive situations and recall ‘facts’ of what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong’. Moreover, it provides us with sufficient information so we can understand where the start point of interpersonal communication and influence is.

Behavioural Flexibility. This lesson is designed so we can learn how to access any situation fully resourced. It provides sufficient knowledge so that we can become competent and even realize which techniques are most suitable for eliciting information. In addition, we are able to fully comprehend the moment we begin to influence our desired outcome.

Verbal Communication. This lesson informs us of the different language patterns in use in the private and business world today. Some of these language patterns are more effective than others depending on the situation and the context. So we explore these avenues and begin to gain the knowledge of verbal influence.

Nonverbal Communication. This lesson explores the presupposition that ' you cannot not communicate'. It provides us with an opportunity to examine all the nonverbal communication signals and learn their meaning. It furnishes us with more knowledge so we will be able to understand the language and thinking patterns of those we are communicating with. Moreover, it equips us with knowledge so we will be able to spot an untruth and deal with it accordingly. 
 
Finding the Positive.  This lesson provides us with an opportunity to analyse verbal communication and learn how to identify any limiting beliefs. It also provides us with a toolkit that we can utilise and become competent in our ability to remove any limiting beliefs. Furthermore, during this lesson you will realize how you can influence and effect change swiftly and gain support in the process.
