Everyone Communicates, Few Connect – Communicating and Leading for Results
#
WESTcommunication

 

When we have an idea, the first thing we do is communicate it. When we need help from others, the first thing we do is ask. There is a step between our idea and desires and communicating them. That missing link is connection. Ever wonder why some people seem to move forward in their careers while others seem stuck? Why no one seems to think your great idea will work? Why your team members don't seem to be paying attention? Why your team is not inspired and engaged? It is because people aren't connecting when they communicate and lead. Everyone talks, but talk is cheap and only yields limited results. Communication goes beyond techniques, body language, tone of voice and other mechanical methods. Learn the strategies to grow into a leader that can connect with others so that you can communicate in a way that gets your message across, inspires action from others and helps you achieve better results.

Session Objectives

  • Gain a new perspective on communication and leadership, and develop a fresh approach to communicating with others.

  • Develop the skills necessary to lead others from a position of influence and gain results such as getting buy-in from above and below, completing projects successfully and on time, and leading teams successfully.
