Effective communication is foundational for the success of individuals within organizations and throughout the organization as a whole. Because communication can be complex, there are often beliefs, assumptions, expectations and perceptions that are misunderstood and can derail the best intended message. In this interactive session, participants will explore the key components of intentional communication including: active and reflective listening; acknowledging and validating people’s thoughts and feelings; giving constructive feedback and asking open-ended and empathic questions.
