Leading Through Your Words – How to be Bold & Design Essential Conversations

Conversation Circle

Jun 8, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (ET)

Leading Through Your Words – How to be Bold & Design Essential Conversations
Presented by Cynthia Mills
Sponsored by FM Global

We literally create the world we want to operate in by the words we choose to use and our reactions to the words we hear. Speaking, writing, and social media posts are all part of essential conversations & will make or break careers. Whether we’re in a leadership role, trying to earn a promotion, or dealing with a difficult HR situation, our ability to find our voice & design impactful conversations to achieve desired results is a critical skill in today’s workplace. Join us to explore 1.) becoming aware of our own impact & influence on those around us, 2.) designing essential conversations by thinking about the end result we want to achieve before we ever utter a word, and 3.) listening for what is underneath others’ words, while making sure they don’t have to do that with us. We’ll also share a resource the facilitator kept by her side as a CEO. Come learn how to be bold, find your voice, and have essential conversations effectively.
