If you have ever wondered why some people just don't "get it" or been on the receiving end of a bad communication where you thought you "heard" someone say one thing only to find out that they meant something else, this two-day course can help. As the demographics and economics of the energy industry change and the workforce is becoming more diverse and dispersed, the importance of effective communication is increasing. At the same time, the impact of communication mistakes is becoming more severe.
This highly interactive and engaging two-day live seminar uses instructor experience, current research, and best practices to give participants set of tools that they can put to use immediately to communicate in ways that make them more effective in a wide variety of situations.
You can expect actionable practical information and real world techniques that you can put to use immediately to enable you to resolve difficult problems and take advantage of opportunities created by the changes taking place in today's energy and electric power industries.
