ADVANCED COMMUNICATION
Master the 7 Skills of Effective Communication
When people describe the characteristics of the best leaders they know, exceptional communication skills are inevitably at the top of the list. Our five decades of research supports this experience—a leader’s ability to positively and effectively influence people is built on a foundation of excellent communication skills.
Advanced Communication harnesses significant insights into human nature and behavior to provide strategies for building mastery-level communication skills for leadership and organizational success. As a participant, you will build your ability to gain commitment, drive results, implement change and help your organization grow into a world-class institution by learning how to most effectively communicate with others.
This program delivers profound, practical concepts and skills that you can implement immediately to build communication expertise and enhance your impact, both professionally and personally.

Advanced Communication Survey
The Advanced Communication Survey is a powerful 360-degree assessment. It is designed to evaluate your communication style from a variety of viewpoints, including your own and those of the colleagues, supervisors, friends and family who know you well.
The Advanced Communication Survey is unique compared to other 360-degree assessments because it evaluates your current performance in the Seven Essential Skills of Communication. Participants receive numerical scores along with narrative feedback for each of the seven communication skills. Used in conjunction with the Advanced Communication program, your survey results are a valuable resource for building an action plan to improve your communication behaviors.
