June 10, 2025

Presentation Description

Description of Topic/Presentation:

“Four Tools to Convert Communication Traffic Jams into Communication Symphonies” 

When you have back-to-back-to-back-to-back meetings, you are effectively in a communication traffic jam. This might not be the metaphor your management intended. It is possible to reshape your culture to resemble a communication symphony. This session shares four tools to accomplish that.

Example Learning Objectives:

  • Why to Govern with Five Verbs Instead of Four Adjectives
  • A Lessons Learned to Confront the Patterns in the Problems
  • How to Be Approachable and Approached, Coachable and Coached
  • How to Reduce Noise, Rework, and Waiting.
