 Developing the Skills Needed for Effective, Powerful and ENJOYABLE Communication

What can go wrong with communication
and strategies for accessing your best, authentic self,

If, as a communicator, you've ever found yourself tensing up or your mind going blank, or you find yourself rambling, speaking too fast, or mumbling- you're human. And, good news: this Zoom session is for YOU. ;)

There are myriad variables that can contribute to an unsuccessful communication encounter or one that causes speaker stress or discomfort.

Healthcare workers who lack listening skills or speak or communicate in a manner that does not elicit trust and evoke competence, negatively impact the patient, the hospital, and their own professional credibility. The inability to project the voice; speaking at a rate that is too fast, too slow; in a volume that is too soft or too loud, or any other vocal habit that detracts from communication, can all be factors that negatively affect the health-care worker-patient relationship. These same skills are important within the organization, as head residents, team leaders, and others in positions of authority help set the professional and communicative tone of a setting.

Do you feel your voice and speaking manner are truly representing who you are, or whom you know you can be? If not, do something about it!
