Program Description Stronger communication skills GUARANTEE greater leadership effectiveness You deserve more advanced training When you’ve reached the level in your career that you have, you don’t need to be taught the communication basics. Respect others. Listen well. Be assertive not aggressive. That may be good enough for some, but not for you. What you need is more advanced communication training. You focus on the big picture – and any program you attend should recognize that. The Rockhurst Leadership Institute’s The Rockhurst Communication Course for Leaders is the right choice for higher-level communication training. Learn proven tactics for influencing your boss, your peers, your employees Ask any successful professional and they’ll tell you the truth: The ability to influence others is one of the most important – and most underused – qualities true leaders have. You’ll get things done more quickly, without as much hassle, and with more respect when you use the proven communication techniques you’ll learn in this advanced program. Get negotiation strategies that will increase your profile in your organization We all know someone who is great at negotiating. Somehow you walk out of the meeting having agreed to everything they asked for – and you’re still smiling. The negotiating skill level that takes isn’t genetic. It’s learned. And we can teach you to negotiate any deal, no matter how crucial or bitter, without batting an eye. We can turn you into the person your boss will turn to for help solving a problem. Build solid relationships and watch your power grow How many times have you heard, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”? So many times it’s now a part of the American culture. Some may scoff at the idea, but true leaders recognize it for what it is: the truth. Building strong relationships – both inside and outside your organization – can be the difference between a mediocre career and a smooth rise to the top. Only the truly arrogant believe they can get to the top alone. The smart executives know it takes people from all levels to get things done. Without the ability to build relationships (instead of burning bridges), you could be in the same position until you retire. Be the leader you aspire to be The key to being a great, effective leader is communication. Being a skilled communicator is worth more than all the technical knowledge in the world. The ability to connect with people paves the way to getting things done. You’ll be amazed how improving your ability to communicate will affect the rest of your career. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to come together with other leaders like you. Take your career to new heights by enrolling now in The Rockhurst Communication Course for Leaders.

How Is the
Rockhurst Leadership Institute Different?

The Rockhurst Leadership Institute understands that not all training is created equal. Training for your front line personnel or your technicians – or even your seasoned supervisors – isn’t the kind of training that you need. The Institute was created to address the advanced and immediate needs of leaders like you – people who make the tough decisions.

Over the course of two days, you will have the opportunity to delve into the meat of leadership issues through the use of case studies, assessments, group discussions with other leaders, and exercises designed to immerse you in the issues that a person in your position faces on a daily basis – issues like influencing others, negotiating with your peers, and building relationships.

In addition to the unique learning experience, you will also be in a room with other leaders like you, people with the same issues you face and the same level of responsibility, people who make the decisions in their organizations – just like you.

You could choose training from a multitude of other organizations – but you can only get training this powerful from the Rockhurst Leadership Institute.
