Be a consistently professional communicator-even in difficult circumstances

How well you communicate can make or break your professional image. It directly influences how others view your work and performance-as well as your prospects for career advancement and mobility.

Unfortunately, being diplomatic, tactful and credible doesn’t always come naturally to people. Even when it does, such communication can easily be derailed by emotions and conflicts. To be a communicator who is skilled in all three areas, it takes awareness, training and the know-how to apply proven techniques to all kinds of situations.

This seminar will teach you how to choose and use the most appropriate words and emotional tone for every business interaction.
