News >Access Alumni Training: Effective Interpersonal Communication
Jul 08,2021
On Saturday June 26, 29 Access alumni attended a seminar on “Effective Interpersonal Communication.” This was the second in a series of six training sessions scheduled for Access alumni throughout the life of the program. The training was given by leadership consultant Maya El Tal.
Topics covered included:
elements of effective communication,
obstacles faced in communication and how to overcome them,
active listening,
powerful questions,
conversational intelligence,
giving and receiving feedback,
nonverbal communication.
The alumni were delighted by the training. One participant reported that it had been “one of the most useful sessions I took during my Access Journey." Another said “the [session] was amazing; we had a very smooth connection with the presenter and all the other Access alumni.”
Maya was also pleased; she told us that – thanks to the engagement and energy the participants demonstrated, and to the encouragement received from Teach For Lebanon’s Access Alumni team – this had been one of the few times she did not get tired from a full day of online training.
