Effective Communication

Communication is vital for success, yet it is the number one challenge for organizations worldwide. In this workshop we address interpersonal and interdepartmental communication through personal styles assessments (such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® or Identity Mapping™) and a series of interactive challenges.

Participants learn how to connect with all potential audiences by recognizing communication preferences, presenting ideas appropriately, understanding others’ points of view and responding appropriately.

Explore the challenges specific to your workplace, and learn to overcome communication barriers between departments, teams, customers and clients. This workshop is appropriate for intact teams and project teams.
