Meier, Ph.D. CMC, Business Advisers and Strategists, Harvey A. Meier Co (Read about Harvey here)The objective is to provide executives, board members, managers, and staff with communication, teamwork, and leadership tools that enable them to: (1) work more effectively with others (e.g. other executives, board members, staff, and stakeholders – i.e. lenders, professional advisors, vendors) individually and in team settings; and (2) that improve their communication skill effectiveness. Attendees receive copies of my presentation; workshop exercises; and supporting information. They also complete a Communication Assessment questionnaire that reveals their primary communication style. This workshop is highly interactive. My approach is to actively dialogue and engage participants in discussion. This includes discussion on proactive listening and effective leadership and decision making principles and practices. And, it coincides with the Seven Principles to Inspire Leadership espoused in my book, The D’Artagnan Way, which is a tale of Purpose, Passion, and Team Commitment. Workshop Benefits: • Individual, team, and leadership decision making styles are identified. • Attendees enhance their ability to receive, send, and process information. • Participants strengthen their understanding of how to build trust and buy-when working with others. • Enables attendees to strengthen interpersonal communication effectiveness, increase individual and group productivity, work with others more harmoniously, and become more proactive in recommending solutions to problems.
