▼Speakerからのメッセージ
How would you rate yourself as a communicator?
Particularly in today’s fast-paced global marketplace, excellent communication skills are consistently listed by experts as among the key criteria for success in both our professional and our personal lives. But what do these experts actually mean by “excellent communication skills”?
We human beings are complex animals! So it should come as no surprise that for us, communication involves a complex, often subtle range of verbal and nonverbal messages that we send and receive on both a conscious and unconscious level.
In order to successfully influence other people?particularly when they are of a different character, culture or background from us–it is vital that we choose the right verbal and nonverbal messages and avoid those that keep us
from having our desired impact.
Excellent communicators are aware of this and use that awareness wisely to promote understanding, build trust, motivate others, and help move people toward desired outcomes.
Please join us for a highly interactive session that explores and practices “the art of communicating to influence people and outcomes.” You won’t want to miss this great opportunity to network while you explore ways to take your communication skills to the next level!
