For the Workplace
Research shows miscommunication is a primary reason for workplace dissatisfaction. I teach individuals and teams to understand their workplace communication styles and behaviours. This leads to smoother communications, stronger teamwork and more productivity.
I know that when people understand how and why misunderstandings occur, they can participate in developing strategies, goals and tactics to overcome these challenges and move forward with less stress and more fun.
Let me put together a custom-designed workshop to meet your needs. Give me a call or book an appointment.
