About this CourseStrong communication skills and interpersonal relationships are essential in an increasingly complex, dynamic, and technical world. Communicating persuasively is crucial to inspiring and motivating others, and a requirement when leading a diverse — and often dispersed — workforce. This skill is also valuable when working with external stakeholders such as clients or business partners from abroad. The MIT Sloan Interpersonal Communication: Strategies for Executives online short course combines research and practice-based methods to help you craft communication deliverables using the RELATE Framework — a scalable professional communication strategy created by the MIT Sloan School of Management. Throughout the course, you’ll also learn how to engage with various audiences and apply a strategic communication lens to understand machines in the corporate context.

Managers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders who need to communicate with a wide range of stakeholders will find value in developing their skill set and updating their communication approaches to meet modern business needs. Similarly, if you’re a consultant, you can enhance service delivery by improving your ability to communicate with diverse audiences or via virtual or social media tools, as required by most multinational companies. If you’re looking to improve your interpersonal skills to match your practical expertise, for example, as a technical or HR professional who wants to better communicate with a team, you’ll find value in the strategic approaches covered in this course.
