Conversations: Getting What You Want, Need, and Deserve
Conversations are the basis for creating a strong professional network. Communication is one of the most important leadership skills but more importantly, it is crucial in creating a life well-lived — productive, successful, and satisfied. Our natural inclination it to avoid the awkward feeling of approaching someone they don't know and making conversation. But 80% of jobs today filled through networking activities. Additionally, professionals who network advance farther faster. And meaningful conversations build buy-in, trust, and cooperation with team members, peers, and family members! In this session, you will learn to create meaningful conversation with new people, lead relationship-deepening conversations with people you already know, position yourself as a person of influence, and resolve conflict so projects and relationships can move forward.
