Course Description/Agenda

Program Description

There’s no doubt about it: Professionals who communicate effectively and confidently go farther faster in their careers than those who don’t. Today more than ever, top-notch communication skills are an absolute must if you want to get ahead professionally.

Yet, communicating with power and finesse is a skill that doesn’t come naturally to most of us. You know what I mean. Like when you’re drowned out at an important meeting by men with louder voices. Or, you’ve got an excellent idea that gets dismissed and then 10 minutes later someone suggests the exact same thing and everyone is suddenly all for it. Or, when you’re speaking to someone up the chain of command and he or she acts like you’re invisible. Talk about frustrating!

Powerful Communication Skills for Women is a phenomenal communication workshop designed specifically for professionals like you. We’ve boiled down “the most important of the most important” communication skills you need to get your ideas across, resolve long-standing conflicts, shine in meetings, persuade and influence others — and that’s just for starters!

In short, you’ll learn step-by-step how to be seen as a highly credible, authoritative communicator who commands attention and gets things done. You’ll leave this exhilarating event armed with the tools and techniques you need to be a more motivating, more persuasive and more effective professional.
Get ready to be entertained, inspired, motivated and changed forever as you discover the communication secrets of the country’s most successful and influential women!

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to gain essential communication skills that will take your career to new heights as you gain respect and admiration from those at all levels of your organization.
