TRAINING FOR PUBLIC RELATIONS PRACTITIONERS

Understanding other people’s emotions is a key skill in the workplace. It can enable us to build and improve relationships with customers and various stakeholders, resolve conflicts and build more cohesive teams.


In this workshop, we will explore what it really means to show empathy. We
will look at how a few simple actions can help you to create and build stronger connections, to build a positive work culture and to make a difference to the emotional well-being of the colleagues and stakeholders.


At the end of this half-day workshop, you will be able to:


- Apply the techniques required during the 3 stages (preparation, during and after) of a networking event;
- Enhance your Personal Branding and be more confident to work the room, and network with ease;
