Overview
How do you professionally thrive as an introvert? It may surprise you, but being an effective communicator is not a magical gift that some lucky people are born with. On the contrary, effective communication is cultivated, practiced and refined over time.
Many people that seem to have natural social butterflies have learned their social techniques from books, classes and training. During this 3-hour live interactive seminar, you’ll learn effective ways to calm crisis and conflict, while honing interpersonal and communication skills to navigate any professional or social setting with panache and ease.
Experts agree that professional success depends just as much on soft skills (a.k.a people skills), as it does on technical knowledge related to a specific position. For many introverts, this reality may seem daunting. It's time to even the playing field and learn the key factors that influence how you communicate with others and how they receive and perceive your communications.
In addition to boosting your career, these newfound communication skills will also help you handle the inevitable conflicts that arise at work — assertively, calmly and rationally. You'll master tools and techniques for keeping a firm hold on your emotions, while communicating more effectively and gain the ability to defuse volatile situations before they become a free-for-all. You will discover how to analyze different types of conflict situations so that you can respond accordingly.
You'll also discover how to analyze different types of personalities to predict others’ behaviors and lessen the anxiety of previously unpredictable social interactions. Discover and learn these practical, proven solutions for creating a more harmonious, collaborative workplace where you can lessen conflict and navigate all types of social settings and personality types to thrive and succeed.
