‘LEAD Yourself’ Power Skills Communication Series:

To achieve success, professionals must have strong and effective oral and written communication skills.  That’s why we are offering these free instructor-led communication workshops!

Effective Listening (1/25/23) via Zoom

Good listeners have deeper, stronger, and better relationships at work, at home, and with friends. This workshop will explain why listening is important, help you figure out what type of listener you are, and teach you the necessary skills to become a more effective listener. Join us for this two hour workshop!

Facilitator:  Dr. Gloria Galanes, MSU Dean Emeritus
Requirements for Zoom:  computer with internet access and speaker audio capability or cell phone.

Communication Basics (2/15/23) via Zoom

Every problem in the workplace may not stem from poor communication—but poor communication is the root of enough problems that it’s worth talking about! What, exactly, is communication? What is the difference between verbal and nonverbal communication, and why is nonverbal communication so important?  What can go wrong when two people attempt to communicate? What can you do to be a more effective communicator?  These topics will be the focus of this two-hour session about communication.

Facilitator:  Dr. Gloria Galanes, MSU Dean Emeritus
Requirements for Zoom:  computer with internet access and speaker audio capability or cell phone.

Writing for Business (3/21/23) Pummill 206

In the workplace, your communication skills—both written and verbal—can help or hinder your performance. Whether it is writing a report or delivering a presentation, your ability to convey ideas and messages clearly, succinctly and with conviction establishes a connection with others and leaves a positive impression. This 90-minute session will help you communicate better in conversations, presentations, letters, emails and reports.

Facilitator: Emily Yeap
