Transform your team’s communication skills to increase productivity and eliminate confusion.
Want to make a change in your workplace and grow together? Well, we want to help! This class is great for teams looking to eliminate confusion and boost productivity with new communication skills.
This class will help you develop clear communication strategies for asking for what you need. We will give you the vocabulary to better understand the various types of requests and how they are best relayed to colleagues. For example, upgrading “soft asks”, which can create confusion and end up with a missed deadline, to clear and actionable requests. Beyond language coaching, you will learn a practical framework for holding yourself and others accountable for improving performance at the individual and team level. In addition, you’ll receive a tool for handling breakdowns in accountability. Following the session, you will be equipped to transform your teams’ conversations—to help you do your job, and do it well.
Unlock the tools to ask for what you need and deal with breakdowns in accountability Learn to recognize the difference between a “soft ask” and a “clear request” and between a “hedge” and a “clear agreement.” Engage in valuable conversations around communication, accountability, and productivity
