I. For All Professionals

JOIN ME November 19th at 6:15 pm EST

Learn tips and techniques that will enhance your professional presence and communication skills.

Time For a Communication Style Makeover? Maybe just some renovation.

The way you communicate with others on a daily basis, both in your personal life and your professional life reflect and determine how you perceive yourself, how you connect to the world around you, and how others understand and relate to you.

As our professional and personal roles change, it is often necessary to "check in" with how we are speaking, sounding, and coming across to those around us. If we don't we may find ourselves getting stuck in old identities or images we have of ourselves, or holding on to beliefs that no longer serve us well and that can derail overall growth and achievement.

In this workshop, we will talk about why the way we communicate needs frequent re-assessing, as we change and as society changes. We'll touch upon habits in our communication style and mindset that can hold us back, and explore and think about communication in new ways and with fresh perspective. We'll break down the very essence of what communication is, establish a framework, and relate to these concepts in a very practical way. You'll take away some new tools and strategies that you can think about and start applying now, that will benefit not only your professional growth, but also your personal development, and, your day to day state of mind and enjoyment of your life being you.
