Monday June 23, 2014 Terra L. Fletcher will be offering Effective Communication at the Green Bay campus of the University of Wisconsin. Academic and support staff are invited to attend the two-hour workshop.
Presentation Summary:
Effective Communication
Studies show that good conversationalists are more productive, happier, and less stressed. Most people take for granted their own ability to communicate effectively, assuming they know how to get what they want or assuming that their personality won’t allow for change.
If you find it difficult to speak up in meetings, make requests of other people, or stand up for your ideas you’ll benefit from this two-hour workshop. Do you tend to push your own ideas too hard, tell people to “just do it,” or discount the opinions of others? You can change.
Learn more about the variety of ways we communicate, problems in communication, and how we can improve our own effectiveness even in tense situations. Portray a more confident image by understanding and balancing your communication style.
Enhance your communication skills and build more productive working relationships for yourself and your organization. Don’t leave your potential success and happiness unfulfilled. Learn how to communicate effectively.
You Will Learn:
- The difference between passive, assertive, and aggressive communication styles
- Barriers to assertive communication
- Tips for modifying your communication style
- The impact of non-verbal communication on your message
- Techniques for communicating assertively in the workplace
