Counselling Skills

Counselling is helping a person to move forward. A short conversation may become important counselling. People are often the most expensive asset of an organisation. People make the difference between success and failure.

Staff problems can be costly in terms of productivity and the effect on colleagues and customers. Counselling is a key skill for managers/team leaders and supervisors. It helps to avoid staff problems and deal with them.

Counselling is not just for problems, it also helps us obtain maximum productivity and job satisfaction for our high performing staff. Counselling skills are a key element in helping potential ‘superstars’ to develop.

In this interactive and stimulating course participants will learn the key skills and embrace a variety of staff situations.
