You didn’t get to be as good as you are by resting on your laurels. Because you recognize developing skills isn’t a one-time event, this brown bag is for you the non-hoverers.
If you’ve been even half-way around the block, you know that just being good at something doesn’t carry the day like it used to. No matter how brilliant you are at coding, putting a plan together or imagining the next i-anything, if you can’t communicate your idea effectively, your idea (and you) are likely to die on the proverbial vine.
What separates the successful entrepreneurs from the still-waiting ones often hinges on how well they connect with others … and connecting well requires effective communication. Alas, no matter how much you may wish it not to be so, the often-dismissed soft skill of communication is fundamental to success. In this interactive session, we’ll explore 4 styles of performance, each with their own communication preference. We’ll talk about how each communication style can hit a home run or a brick wall. You’ll come away with at least 1 action you can take to be a better communicator, moving and shaking yourself to your next level of performance.
Join us for a lively, hover-free conversation.
