Effective Communications & Meetings Management

Description

This class focuses on two of the most problematic areas most organizations face: Communications and Meetings. Communicating with team members and groups has become more important as organizations have relied on collaborative work to advance their goals. Ensuring those communications are actually effective at delivering the planned message cannot be taken for granted. Meetings tend to take up more and more of the workday but provide less and less value when not properly considered and managed; before, during and after the actual meeting. This course will help improve communications and meetings management skills by providing best practices, effective tips and techniques, and interactive activities and discussions to reinforce learning.

• Identify the factors in interpersonal communication
