SAVE THE DATE - Effective Communication in the Workplace -It's Not What you Say or How You Say it....It's How they Feel After You've Said It!
Everyone needs to communicate throughout the day and the audience varies greatly. Whether you are speaking with your peers, your staff or senior management, the result of that communication can be favorable…. or detrimental. You may be extraordinarily effective at leading some of your teams but struggle with others. Perhaps discussions with some in senior management are easier than others. How do you develop more effective dialogue with all of them?

Our speaker, Russ Ouellette, DM, is the President and Managing Partner at Sojourn Partners, a leadership enhancement organization specializing in Executive Coaching, Individual and Team Development, Strategic Planning and Organizational Development.
