What happens to staff who 'get by' with managers who rarely communicate? Over time, high-performing employees can go from thriving to barely surviving. Many leaders are unaware the human brain craves the connection only a conversation can give. Let's help our leaders reframe the value of workplace communication. In this session speaker Janet Hueglin Hartwick shares the Four Sparks of Success and review easy tips to promote meaningful dialogue that builds social trust. We will learn to debunk old-fashioned "professional" communication tips; discover the value of speaking to a team member's "mental gatekeeper"; and help our managers decode what an employee wants to hear. We will also check-in with our own needs and receive ideas on how to reintroduce HR as a helpful business partner.

The slide deck and recordings for this event are NOT being shared post-event therefore you will need to attend this virtual event live at the date and time indicated above.
