One of the most popular WEST workshops - we will cover all the important aspects of developing, practicing, delivering, and self-evaluating, your most important communications, from meetings to large conferences and video. Additionally, the level 1-3 listening skills which will enable you to stay focused, especially on your audience, or key audiences, to insure success.

Leadership is inspiring others who want to follow and work toward a common goal.

You will learn:

Message focus
Dealing with your nervousness
How to prepare for interviews
How to present “up” in your organization
How to turn down the noise and really understand what the other person or audience is saying.

Listening is a skill and only half of the communication equation. In conversations both parties speak and both parties listen. Whether your message hits its target and whether you get the results you seek all starts with listening.

How you listen

When you say it
