Course Overview
Hi, everyone. My name is Kevin Miller and welcome to my course, Communication for the ITIL Practitioner. I am the founder and principal consultant for Delta Technology, where we are opening IT to change. Good communication is a skill no one is born with it. By taking my course, you will gain the skills needed to transform into an excellent communicator. In this course we're going to discuss why good communication skills are so important. This is a soft skill often lacking in IT professionals. This course will help you build your skills to separate you from the herd and improve your ability to work well with others. Some major topics that we will cover include: The five principles of communication, Communication techniques and types of communication. I'll also circle back and show you how these topics apply to the world of information technology. By the end of this course, you'll be prepared for communication questions on the ITIL Practitioner exam. But even if you are not planning on taking that exam, you'll be better prepared to communicate with anyone at work or at home. From here, continue your learning by diving into other ITIL Practitioner courses available on Pluralsight. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn communication skills with the Communication for the Itil Practitioner course at Pluralsight.
