API Care and Counselling, the community outreach arm of the Asian Pastoral Institute (API), is proud to organise this workshop to help you understand your own communication style at home and in the workplace.

Communication is an essential part of our lives at home and at work. There is a need to convey ideas, instructions, and thoughts to others around us including our loved ones, colleagues, bosses, and subordinates. Everyone aspires to have harmony at home, and to be recognized and appreciated at work. However, these aspirations do not always come naturally to most of us, especially when we get stuck in repeated and poor communication patterns.

In this workshop you will understand communication styles based on prominent psychological theories. You will also get the opportunity to discover your preferred communication style, and acquire some practical conversational skills through in-class role plays to improve your communication effectiveness.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS SHOULD EXPECT TO LEARN

• Learning about different communication styles
• A greater awareness of your own communication patterns
• Skills in using different communication styles to engage others effectively

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• People who often encounter communication breakdowns with others
• People who want to strengthen and improve their communication with family members, colleagues, and friends
