What is the course

What is the Interpersonal Communication in Teams programme?

A practical, outcome-focused training programme designed to help teams build knowledge, apply tools and improve performance in real work situations.

The Interpersonal Communication in Teams programme equips team members and supervisors with the emotional agility, behavioral adaptability and collaborative communication tools to eliminate departmental friction, resolve conflicts constructively and build cohesive, high-trust team performance.

UnderstandTeam communication dynamics, DISC behavioral profiles and psychological safety

ApplySimulate a live cross-functional team crisis resolving conflicting priorities and interpersonal tensions.

ImproveEstablish team communication agreements and an interpersonal collaboration charter for your group.

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

This course is ideal for many organisations, but may not be the best fit for every situation. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Notice communication breakdowns between introverted technical experts and extroverted commercial staff
  • Want to eliminate passive-aggressive behavior, gossip and departmental finger-pointing
  • Are seeking a tailored, private corporate training programme for newly formed or struggling project teams
  • Value open dialogue, clear interpersonal accountability and strong team esprit de corps
Another course may be better if:
  • You only employ independent solo contractors who never interact with colleagues
  • You are looking for general software coding or technical IT certifications
  • Your company encourages cutthroat internal competition where teams actively sabotage each other
  • You require basic language translation tutorials
