Advanced Communication Skills

Subject: Advanced Communication Skills -- Starting October

Hi everyone,

Let me share one of my great passions.

Over the past few years, some of you have attended Out of the Shadows workshops exploring emotional intelligence, responsibility, motivation and personal change.

Some have asked whether I offer more in-depth training in the communication skills behind this work.

love teaching these skills, and exploring the beliefs and ways of seeing the world that shape how we communicate.

I’m now completing a four-part course called Advanced Communication Skills.

Drawing on psychology, psychotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), it offers a practical way to understand how people think, communicate and change. We’ll start with your own way of seeing the world, then explore how to shift your perspective and emotional state when a conversation calls for it.

Across four interactive sessions, you’ll practise:

building rapport and trust naturally
understanding why people interpret the same situation differently
recognising patterns that strengthen or weaken relationships
asking questions that invite insight rather than defensiveness
using language to encourage reflection and problem-solving
changing your own emotional state when it affects how you communicate
having more effective conversations with clients, colleagues, friends and family.

The course will be especially useful if your work involves supporting, teaching, leading or working closely with others – whether you’re a therapist, coach, health or support worker, educator, manager or community worker. It’s also open to anyone who wants to communicate better in their personal relationships.

Each session will combine discussion, demonstrations and practical exercises, with plenty of time to practise in a supportive environment. The aim is to leave with skills you can use in everyday conversations.

I’m planning to run the first course in the coming weeks, starting on either Saturday 17 or 24 October, running from 1pm-5pm.

If you’re interested, email me and let me know (and your preferred start date). There’s no commitment at this stage; I’ll send confirmed dates and enrolment details as soon as they’re ready.

And if you know someone who might benefit, please feel free to pass this on. All are welcome.

Warm regards,

Dr Rjurik Davidson Prime Therapy
