Virtual Communication for Managers: Guide Your Team to Excel Through Change
Did you know that a disengaged employee costs an organization about $3400 for every $10,000 in annual salary, and that productivity improved by 20-25% in organizations with connected employees? Managers at all levels of an organization must be able to communicate effectively with others in order to increase engagement and accountability among employees and other stakeholders.
In the Virtual Communication for Managers ℠ program, you'll learn how to use powerful virtual communication tools and Relational Presence to help ensure optimal performance with your teams as you build more trust, credibility and influence.

“Before taking this workshop, I thought I was a pretty good manager. Now I realize that leading a team goes beyond what I’m saying and trying to get them to do. It’s about using my presence and my listening to build rapport and trust. And it’s about speaking with them instead of at them. I now have a whole new set of tools that I know will help me be a much better manager.”
