Subjects
1. Introduction to Business English
Business English is an essential skill for any job. This subject teaches you how to effectively and professionally communicate with others. Things like proper etiquette, non-verbal communication, and more form part of this subject.
2. Coaching and counseling
This subject teaches you all the skills you need to effectively coach and counsel others. These techniques will help to make sure that you can get the best results out of your counselling sessions.
3. When to coach or cancel
One of the most important skills you need is to know when you should counsel someone or when you should let it go. There is nothing worse than putting a lot of time and effort into counselling sessions only to realise it is a waste of time.
4. Giving and receiving feedback
Feedback is very important. Not all feedback is positive of course and no one likes to give negative feedback. Knowing how to give feedback correctly will make even the most unpleasant feedback easier to give in positive ways.
Just as important as giving feedback is knowing how to take feedback, even when it is negative.
5. Plan and conduct coaching and counseling sessions
Coaching and counselling isn’t something you can just dive into. You need to have a plan. This subject teaches you how to make a counselling or coaching plan.
Assessments
Skills Academy will require you to complete the recommended assignments. The assignments are designed to help you through your learning to make sure that you completely understand all the topics covered and that you can apply this to your working environment.
