Effective communication is central to our success. It is the key to building trusted relationships and essential to our well-being. The truth is the vast majority of us have a big gap between how we communicate under stress and how we know we can communicate when we are at our best. Author and communication expert Maryanne O’Brien will give you the key to closing that gap.  In this deep-dive webinar, she will help you understand your communication style and develop a conscious practice that elevates your ability to communicate from your healthiest style of expression more often than not.  

In this session, you’ll learn the following:

  • The different communication styles–needs, strengths and weaknesses, and style expressions;
  • Communication style influences; and
  • How to build communication skills to bridge style gaps, elevate your style, and strengthen well-being.
