Elevate Your Communication - In this session, we will use Maryanne O'Brien's The Elevated Communicator as a basis to learn about four communication styles. You will take a self-assessment to determine your style and then learn about how the styles interact with each other. We'll also discuss how we may need to flex toward other styles in order to communicate effectively with people in our workplaces and organizations. After all, the basis of a great working relationship is strong communication!
