Women
in Business Roundtable
Communicating to be Heard and Remembered The only person
who likes a lecture is the person giving it. ™ How do we keep
an audience from daydreaming about their laundry? It is HOW we say what
we say that allows us to be heard and remembered. To change a mind, to
sell a product, to manage a team, to lead a nation, we must first be heard.
In our current communication economy, the human relationship is the true
currency. This workshop welcomes the nervous, the eloquent, the tongue-tied
and even the polished woman. It will harness your natural style and personality
and make you a more effective speaker in business, law, politics, or advocacy.
Cost is $35 for Chamber
members and $45 for prospective members if paid by Feb. 14. Additional
$5 after Feb. 14 and at the door. |
