‘LEAD Yourself’ Power Skills Series:
Communication Basics (2/15/23 2:00-4:00 pm) 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.

Inspiring Leadership through Emotional Intelligence (4/25/23 8:30 am-12:00 pm) Seated
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been identified as the number one core competency for effective leadership, productive relationships and excellent service regardless of rank or title.
Learners who attend this session will discover that productive relationships can either flourish or wither as a result of our ability, or inability, to exert control over our behavior. The essential premise of EI is that true, sustainable, success requires an honest awareness, control and management of one’s own emotions, and an understanding of the emotions of others. Understand the powerful and positive impact of a high emotional quotient.
Join us for this 3.5 hour session and learn why emotional intelligence creates leaders and how easily you can develop yours.
