This course is designed to help participants enhance their communication skills, thereby improving their ability to work effectively with others.

Mediation skills, while related, have distinct differences. While strong communication is essential, the key aspect of mediation is the ability to listen attentively and understand what is being said.

Mediators focus on fostering effective communication and building consensus between the parties. This course also covers the broader range of skills needed to become an effective mediator.
