Temperament refers to our innate traits, which affects our behavior. We are born to be and do certain skills with ease, and our character is nurtured by the environments in which we live and the people in our lives. Who we are affects how we work, communicate and lead. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, educator, in sales or any other profession, understanding your authentic speaker style helps you communicate effectively with others. During this training, participants will engage in active discussion, thoughtful activities and take home communication strategies to discover how to be more intentional and communicate more effectively in both professional and interpersonal relationships. more info... |
