Presentation Description: Effective conversations can be had every day at work with intentionality and thoughtfulness. There is a formula and structure to aid with comprehension and recall. People who connect with others have better relationships, experience less conflict, and get more things done than those who do not put in the effort to build connections. Leaders who have learned the art of communication and connection are able to effectively communicate ideas, establish buy-in and attract followers. When you truly connect with others—one-on-one, or in groups—a sense of community is created. That sense of community improves your ability to build team cohesiveness, and your influence as a leader skyrockets. With the consistent application of the guidelines showcased in this program, a leader will see a shift in the overall cohesiveness of the team. You will know you are succeeding in the connection arena when your team members express themselves openly (instead of being guarded) and go the extra mile to get tasks completed.
Leaning Objectives:
- Choose an approach to finding common ground with others for effective win-win partnerships.
- Recognize the value in people and become more empathetic.
- Put more energy, intention, and thought into connecting and communicating well with others.
