Effective communication skills can be challenging to develop, and they take conscious effort and ongoing practice to improve. During chaos, crisis, and turmoil our communications skills can be tested and if not focused on, can lead to negativity, distrust, misunderstandings, conflict, and increased disengagement.
Research is showing that many leaders admit they were underprepared for the level, the needed consistency, and the new mediums required for communicating during the pandemic. The resulting lack of communication caused fear among employees decreased productivity, and reduced engagement. Going forward, leaders who continue to focus on effective communication are far more likely to have successful and engaged teams.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Successful leaders know that strong, effective communication skills can create a sense of stability and predictability, lower stress and anxiety, and build trust and creativity. The key is to recognize what effective communication looks like, and how to deliver and connect during times of change and challenge.
By focusing on the necessary communication skills you will be able to develop a productive, collaborative, and respectful work environment.
Discover how to effectively communicate with your team as they respond to challenges, and cope with change. Create a communication strategy that ensures employees are clear about what is expected of them. Learn to choose the most effective strategies that will help your team stay engaged, balance uncertainty, and build resilience.
