Communication skills have long been recognised as essential to professional success and many a career has stalled, faltered or stagnated thanks to a lack of communication skills.

Mediation skills are subtly yet meaningfully different. Excellent communication is a pre-requisite but more important is the ability to listen and take note of what is being said. The role of the mediator is to help parties reach a solution to their problem and to arrive at an outcome that both parties are happy to accept. Mediators avoid taking sides, making judgements or giving guidance. They are simply responsible for developing effective communications and building consensus between the parties. This course also covers the wider range of skills, in addition to communication, that are required to be an effective mediator.

It is used to visually depict the potential causes of a specific event or problem, facilitating the analysis of the factors that might contribute to a particular issue.

Cultural differences can have a significant impact on teamwork. Different cultures may prefer different communication styles, such as direct, indirect, expressive, or more evasive. This may lead to differences in the interpretation of messages. Gestures, tone of voice, and words used can have different meanings in different cultures. Something that is acceptable in one culture may be offensive in another. Different cultures may have different approaches to hierarchy in the workplace. Some cultures may be more hierarchical, where decisions are made by people higher up in the hierarchy. Cultures differ in their approach to working time and deadlines. Some cultures may value punctuality more, while others may be more flexible. Different cultures may have different approaches to conflict. Some cultures may avoid confrontation, while others may prefer open conflict resolution. In some cultures, decisions are made after consultation and team discussions, while in others decisions are made by a single leader. Different cultures have different perceptions and approaches to diversity. It is important to build awareness and respect for cultural differences in the workplace. In teamwork, it is crucial to understand and respect cultural differences. Building an atmosphere of open communication, respect and flexibility in accepting diversity can help manage cultural differences and create an effective work environment. This also opens the door to benefiting from diversity through diverse perspectives and ideas.
