There’s no definitive template for communicating as a leader. But even if you know what you want to say, it’s important not to overlook how you’re heard. How others hear you affects how they feel about you, your ideas, and their willingness to support them. If you'd like to become a more effective communicator this year, we invite you to join us for Finding Your Leadership Language.
Led by communications coaches Hal Weitzman, Adjunct Associate Professor of Behavioral Science, and Chelsea Vail, Senior Associate Director of Communications & Programs, Harry L. Davis Center for Leadership, this live-online minicourse will provide you with tools for assessing both yourself and your audience, as well as guidance on making a personalized plan for finding your leadership language, and, ultimately, writing your leadership story.
Register through November 2 at 11AM CT.
