Leadership

It’s All In How You Say It – Communication Tips For The Professional

    About the Workshop

    Communication is the single most important key to success in the workplace. Like it or not, your career depends on how well you communicate. True leaders in any organization are the people who share a particular skill: the ability to communicate effectively. Experts agree that the movers and shakers in most organizations are the ones who can best relate to everyone. This presentation examines the multiple ways to communicate in today’s “more with less” culture. Successful leaders combine strong interpersonal skills with technical knowledge and an increased utilization of technology. We’ve never been more connected to the people around us and at the same time we’ve never been more disconnected. Our heavy dependence on texting, tweeting, Facebook, etc. can limit how much we truly engage with one another. Social media and networking can be quite useful in business and relationships, but there needs to be a balance. This course will explore better ways to communicate effectively in today’s fast-paced world.

    Globalization, increased use of technology and the pressure to do more with less, do it faster, do it more efficiently and effectively can lead to major communication glitches. This course reminds today’s leaders and professionals how important concise communication can be. Professional communication can avoid costly mistakes. Participants in this seminar will explore their individual communication styles. Detailed verbal and non-verbal techniques will sharpen your message, making your meaning clearer and more concise.
