Please take some time to complete the Communication Skills Questionnaire in advance of Comhar Session 2: Effective Communication.

This will help in discussions and reflecting on how you can further develop your leadership skills and capacity.

Read through each statement and tick the box under the score which you feel best describes you.

After completing the Communication Skills Questionnaire reflect on what the information is telling you about you as a communicator.

Reflection Questions:

• What type of communicator am I: a talker, a listener or a questioner?

• What two areas of communication are strengths for me?

• What implications does my leadership style have for me as a leader?

• What do I need to focus on developing?

• Choose one area for development - What will I do over the next 6 months to develop this area?

During the session we will have time to discuss and explore Mark's scenario in breakout rooms.

In breakout rooms we will have the opportunity to discuss the following questions:

• What are the considerations that Mark has overlooked?

• What should Mark do next?
