Description:
Communicating with others is a skill that is often taken for granted. Yet, we can all identify the good communicators from the poor. The Say It Well workshop provides structure and best practices to help associates be more effective, clear and empathetic in their communication methods. Through scenario-based exercises, participants will make judgments about how to communicate as well as practice actual techniques.
During this program, participants will:
- Organize your message for clarity
- Determine the best medium for your message
- Deliver your message to engender credibility
- Flex your communication style for enhanced understanding
- Think on your feet with ease
