"Communication -- the human connection --  is the key to personal and professional success'' - Paul J Meyer.

Communicating well is crucial for reasons impacting both personal and professional areas of life. It helps build strong relationships and enhance teamwork and collaboration while negotiating and resolving conflicts that may arise in the workplace. Effective communication ensures that relevant information is shared, leading to better decisions and tangibly improving a person???s self-esteem.  Whether in business or personal life, a clear exchange of ideas helps weigh options and foster collaboration, allowing human beings to succeed. 

This course is designed to help participants improve their communication skills, ensuring more effective interactions within the company, external stakeholders, and personal life. The program will cover written, verbal, and non-verbal communication, equipping participants with the tools to communicate effectively.

This hands-on and engaging course takes participants through real-world workplace situations, helping them build and sharpen their communication and people skills. Along the way, various self-awareness and reflection exercises will give you better insight into yourself and how others see things.

Course: Interior Design

The interior design course at LUMS was a great experience. The course wasn’t too long, and I could manage it easily alongside my job. This course helped me gain the confidence and initial experience I needed to get into the market.

Leo’s Workshop, Beaconhouse School System

Course: Introduction to Business

The overall experience that I’ve had with this course is just amazing. It’s like a micro MBA that LUMS can have you do in less than two months. It’s a very rigorous course, it’s time-consuming and very hands-on and is a learning experience that everyone should experience at least once in their lives.

Course: Practical Auditing

This course holds a lot of significance because I gained a hands-on, practical understanding of auditing before stepping into the professional world. The instructor created this well-rounded course and allowed us to develop a work ethic that helped me excel in the workplace. This certificate on my resume has opened many doors for me, and I feel like I have got a head-start among my professional counterparts.
