Getting to Know You: How to Effectively Communicate with Anyone

The real secret to business and personal success is being able to communicate effectively with anyone at anytime. Unfortunately, many of us have not learned how to decipher among the various personality types, each of which has its own unique communication style. In this interactive and high-energy program, Laura Michaud teaches you how to "read" someone in minutes and use that information to build a better business and/or personal relationship.

Learn how to:

• Read people better and communicate more efficiently.
• Interact with different personality types, thus fostering a greater sense of teamwork on the job.
• Identify employees' strengths and weaknesses and manage them more effectively.
• Recognize core issues in any relationship challenge and overcome them.
• Work with the dynamics of different personality types.
• Lay the foundation for high performance and business growth.

This fun and eye-opening presentation is well received by various industries and organizations. Attendees leave this program with a new appreciation for communication styles. You can choose a one and a half to three-hour presentation format, or Laura can deliver main points in a dynamic keynote speech. Per person material cost extra.
