Both individual and team success depend upon clear and effective interpersonal communication.

Whether face to face or virtual, every interaction with another person influences how you are perceived and provides an opportunity to develop trust and build a positive relationship.

Whether presenting one-on-one or in front of an audience of 1,000, conveying information to a project team or delivering a difficult message, communicating effectively is one of the most powerful skills for achieving your objectives.

This webinar will teach you how to focus on your outcome, tune in to your audience, and develop your messages for clarity and impact.

Your ability to create an environment for open discussion and ongoing dialogue is crucial for communication success.

The communications skills covered can increase your ability to exercise choice and control for every type of conversation, influence without authority, and improve the quality of relationships and productivity.

Learning Objectives Include:

• A blueprint for designing any important communication
• Six principles to guide your interactions
• Emotional intelligence to manage challenging conversations
• Alignment of the four key components of communication to achieve your outcome

Are You Ready To Take On The Role Of “Questioner-in-Chief?”

In this webcast, Warren Berger, author of the new bestselling book A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas, explains why today’s business executives must be more comfortable asking questions, and encouraging those around them to question more.

In this 60-minute program, Berger will walk you through:

• How dynamic change in today’s marketplace creates the need for more and better questioning by leaders
• Research showing that the most successful CEOs are usually expert questioners
• How to create a “Culture of Inquiry” in your company
• Why some leaders don’t feel comfortable asking questions (and how they can overcome that)
• How to get better at asking “actionable questions” that lead to tangible results

Most Importantly, Warren will also share some of the most important questions that every business leader today should be asking themselves.

He will also explain why you might want to consider replacing your company’s “mission statement” with something more engaging and compelling—namely, a “mission question.”
