Workshop Description:

In these uncertain times, we need to adjust our communication at home, in public, and at work to adapt to change; and sometimes it is difficult to know what is true and what is not.

It is at times like this when the ability to communicate with civility, credibility and competence is essential for success. 

By applying these tried-and-tested communication best practices, you can build your reputation, boost your credibility, influence others in significant and positive ways, and even improve the bottom line.

After attending this interactive and practical workshop, you will be better able to:

• Understand what civility is and why it is essential to effective communication in your workplace.
• Identify and avoid communication habits that may be undermining your (or your organization's) credibility.
• Adopt one or all of ten proven communication best practices that relate to verbal, nonverbal, written and electronic communications.
• Be recognized as a professional who communicates with clear purpose and saves others time and energy.
• Exhibit high social competence and a service-orientation that will leave a long-lasting impression with whomever you communicate.
