TRAINING FOR PUBLIC RELATIONS PRACTITIONERS

Persuasive Communication is designed to help participants to harness interpersonal skills in attempting to influence and persuade others. In order for us to experience greater success in interpersonal relationships we need to be proactive in establishing rapport with an individual or a group. To be more persuasive and influential in any situation, we need to use all of our communication skills including our visual, vocal and verbal skills to help us achieve greater success.
