Using Transactional Analysis to manage situations

Transactional Analysis is a theory in psychology developed by Dr Eric Berne. It is a psycho-social theory using transactions to analyse relationships and challenging people situations individuals may find themselves in. It is used to enable people to change their transacting style and adapt their approaches with colleagues, staff, managers, customers and suppliers. The course is highly interactive.

	Understand your preferred style of communication
	Adapt your style, using voice tone, words and body language to be appropriate to the situation or receiver
