SUMMARY:How to Talk to Employees as a Manager - Mastering Communication and Navigating Difficult Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Aimee Bernstein \n\n\n\nDuration: 60 Minutes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnlimited Attendees: Any number of participants \nRecorded Version: Unlimited viewing for 6 months (Access information will be emailed 24 hours after the completion of live webinar) \n\n\n\nOverview:\nIn this mind/body training you’ll practice listening beyond reactivity so you can deeply hear the other person as well as practice aligning what you think and feel in order to communicate authentically\, powerfully and with kindness. \nThe first conversation is the one you have with yourself when reacting to what the other person says. To minimize this tendency\, participants will learn how to shift from the chatter of the mind into the mind/body\, so they are available to listen deeply. The second conversation is what the other person is stating. \nParticipants will move beyond assumptions and judgments by learning helpful questions that enhance understanding. The third conversation is the back-and-forth conversation the two of you have. Participants will be encouraged to see seed of truth within each other’s perspective so they can find a deep truth and understanding among them. Learners should be able to \n\nSee the seed of truth in different points of view to respond rather than blindly react\nStay engaged when listening instead of being distracted\nGive feedback in a way that is kind\, honest and helpful\nMake clear requests\nAsk questions that get to the heart of the matter\n\nWhy you should Attend:\nDoes your style of communicating bring stress or ease to your day? The quality of your communication directly affects your ability to authentically connect\, influence\, inspire\, and engage your board members\, associates and clients. It can create stress or bring ease and joy to your workday. How you communicate can make or break your career. Yet so many of us are unaware of our style of communication. \nWe make assumptions\, react\, interrupt\, judge and/or forget in the heat of a high-paced results-oriented workday to be kind and empathetic. Our need to be right filters our conversations\, bringing with it our biases and boundaries. Thus\, if your intent is to create a collaborative\, engaged and productive team\, you first need to refine your communication style. \nAreas Covered in the Session:\n\nThe three conversations that exist in all conversations\nHow your personality influences your ability to listen\nListening beyond reactivity\nExploration into assertive\, non-assertive and aggressive communication and their connection to needs and feeling states\nMaking requests\nThe types of questions that matter\nThe 8 rules of feedback\n\nWho Will Benefit:\n\nLeaders and others who are interested in enhancing collaboration and developing stronger relationships with their associates\nThose who want to feel comfortable asking for what they want and speaking their truth\n\n\n\nSpeaker Profile \n\nAimee Bernstein’s passion and purpose is to help individuals\, teams and organizations manifest more of their potential.
