The program covers four specific content areas critical to effective two-way communication.

the emotion out of communication, effective use of silence, tone of

you hear, fighting the urge to react, and using your other senses to
listen.

identifying your goals and objectives, creating a plan to meet your
objective, timing, and communication method.

objective, and gaining clarity through effective questions.
This workshop is available in two formats, a single-day 6-hour workshop
or a 4-session workshop with 1.5 hours sessions.
