Fee: $20 AC Members
$30 Non-members of the AC
Effective communication is the lifeblood of every relationship we have and a strong determinant of our success or failure. In fact, social scientists maintain that at least 80 percent of the conflicts or interpersonal difficulties we encounter stem from communication style (not substantive) differences. If we understand the styles of others and use our own unique style more persuasively, we can achieve greater results and better relationships in our professional and personal lives. This session will show why appreciating style is essential in developing healthier and more prosperous organizations, and in essential to professional and personal growth. The concepts presented can be used to enhance organizational and personal effectiveness in the areas of:
- Conflict resolution
- Communication
- Team building
- Motivation
- Creative problem solving
- Employee relations
- Trust building
