Communication & Leadership
Objectives
Many students probably have not considered how their personality influences other people; or explored their own values and attitudes. Because interpersonal relations contribute so heavily to effective leadership, this course has been designed to provide students with the basics of Communication skills in a way that will help them to be more aware of the way they communicate, as well as to be more ethic and effective in their leadership roles over the course of their careers, and in their personal lives. We created a course where learning means to be actively involved and we want to help to turn classrooms into a dynamic interactive learning experience. Students will be challenged to learn more about Communication, Leadership & Ethics through self-assessments, case studies and discussion points, but also through simulators (self-pitch, job interviews, etc) where they can practice their soft skills.
