This free course is one in a series focusing on leadership, decision-making and communication in the context of policing within the community. This particular session focuses on communication skills and specifically looks at how to build rapport and get the most out of conversations in community settings. It introduces a psychological model which is a useful way to think about how to develop rapport, and allows you to plan for, and reflect on, your everyday interactions in order to build rapport effectively. It focuses on conversations that might be considered ‘difficult’, and encourages effective listening and effective diagnosis of interpersonal behaviour.

I have learned about intrapersonal communication and the adaptive, and maladaptive model, I learned that communication isnt just about talking to people, being with a room with them and not talking to them is a sign of communication

This is an interesting course on communication & interpersonal skills. In this course, you will find a few scenarios where you put yourself and try to solve the problem. It creates curiosity within students and helps them to understand a situation in a much better way. I had fun doing this course and learned a lot about how to behave in certain situations.
