Communication Skills for Women
How to achieve confidence, credibility, and composure in the workplace
The top 10 communication hurdles – can you relate?
Our researchers asked women across the country to describe their toughest communication situations. We analyzed more than 800 circumstances and came up with these top 10:
1) Confronting or criticizing others
2) Not being taken seriously
3) Feeling self-conscious
4) Dealing with other people’s anger
5) Speaking in front of a group
6) Controlling one’s emotions
7) Receiving criticism
8) Getting cooperation
9) Setting limits
10) Taking the floor
This one-day training will help you build the skills to overcome them.
