On August 4, 2024, SPE-KSA Human Capital Committee, in collaboration with MISK, hosted an engaging workshop on “Effective Communication”. The event aimed to enhance participants’ abilities to communicate persuasively and become effective leaders.
The workshop featured Murtadha Al-Yousef as the speaker, who provided insights into
effective communication techniques. His talk emphasized the importance of effective
communication and how it is an essential factor towards the path of great success. Over 100 attendees participated in person, while more than 700 attendees joined online,
reflecting the topic’s widespread significance.
The session included interactive activities and real-life examples to illustrate key concepts. One of the highlights was the Johari Window exercise, the Johari Window is a psychological tool designed to boost communication and self-awareness. Participants select adjectives that describe themselves and compare them with those chosen by others. This process highlights differences between self-perception and how others perceive them, helping participants gain insights into their communication styles and identify areas for improvement. Additionally, a custom-designed card game created by the ROSHD team was introduced, allowing participants to practice and enhance their communication skills in a fun and interactive manner.
Understanding varied communication styles and knowing how to adjust to different audiences for more productive interactions were among the workshop’s main takeaways. Murtadha Al-Yousef highlighted the value of persuasive communication to become a more compelling communicator, including active listening and empathy.
Participants also learned how improved team dynamics and decision-making are fostered by good communication skills, which is a crucial prerequisite for effective leadership. One of the workshop’s special aspects was the collaboration between ROSHD and MISK, which provided a combination of innovative approaches for communication training. The learning process was entertaining and educational thanks to the utilization of interactive sessions and games.
