Communication

Within each professional development goal, an advanced level of communication is essential. HGI offers a number of courses and programs aimed at taking a novice communicator to a heightened level of awareness and skills and the advanced communicator to a higher level of sophisticated and complex skills. Our programs range from half a day to 60 hours.

The Art of Fully Engaged Dialogue™…a coach approach

This program is often used in organizations to develop peer coaching skills and practices and is frequently used to support cohort leadership development programs. The framework is built on a dialogue model using coaching practices which stimulate critical thinking, self-directed learning and self-directed leadership. Team cohesion, collaboration and communication effectiveness are integrated into the framework and model. The program is designed to integrate the learning over several sessions with sufficient time in between to build on the skills in the day to day work environment. It is built on a model of one day interactive classroom learning and ten follow-up modules of 1.5 hours each with 3 learning partners to support just in time learning and professional goal achievement. The workbook has additional resources and post workshop exercises for those who learn well on their own and stimulates reflection for ongoing learning.

This program is a 1 day workshop and 10 follow-up modules of 1.5 hours each.
