Opening channels for collaborative communication is critical in today’s ever-changing work place.

Employers and managers risk drowning out valuable input and alienating employees if they simply push information out and dictate direction.  However, providing and managing invitations to participate can be challenging.

In other words, moving from monologue to dialog is necessary, yet difficult.

You must balance presenting clear information concisely – that is, commanding the room — with facilitating input and innovation – in other words, collaborating creatively.

Learn to:

1. Manage anxiety prior to speaking so that you are calm and confident when engaging your audience.
2. Prepare your audience for interactive participation.
3. Facilitate the participation while it’s happening, such as calling for questions and queuing them up.

Join Matt and learn specific, immediately applicable facilitation techniques that are informed by scholarly research.
