Today’s professional environment relies on strong communication across organizations. Administrative professionals often serve as the hub in these busy environments. Communication must be clear and effective. In a dynamic presentation by Cassandra Lee, she’ll teach formulas for most effective dialogue and communication, including: sharing ideas in meetings, handling difficult conversations, and asking for what you want and need. Participants will leave the program with confidence in their abilities to stand up for themselves, request what they desire, and get results. It will be hands-on, interactive with role-play and group discussion. Cassandra’s workshop will include discussion on:
-Why using assertive techniques helps you be direct without being offensive;
-How to use verbal scripts to say “No” and handle conflict
-How to constructively express ideas in meetings.
-What to do to project confidence (even when you aren’t feeling it).
We’ll conclude the program with a look at the political healthcare landscape taught by noted expert political commentator, James Slotnick. He'll let us know where things are headed in 2018 and what we should expect.
