Chamber Women in Business Luncheon

On January 8th, from 11:30am-1:00pm, join us to learn new tools to better communicate with colleagues, employees and volunteers!

Topic: Communication: Minimizing Conundrums and Maximizing Connections

Whether you're the leader of a nonprofit organization and rely heavily on the manpower and creativity of volunteers, or you are part of a for profit enterprise trying to increase the bottom line, there are challenges in communicating well with colleagues, employees, and volunteers.

This discussion will focus on elements of communication that can minimize misunderstandings and encourage individuals to speak truth with respect and confidence, all using 4 simple shapes: a heart, a club, a triangle, and a circle.
