How Do You Ruin Everything by Being You?

_______________________________________  

Speaker: John Stoker

Event and Workshop: Participants may register for the entire event, breakfast program only, or workshop only.

During the turbulent times in which we find ourselves, most individuals are even less likely to speak up and talk about what really matters because of what they believe the impact may be to them. To complicate matters, we are all uniquely different. Even though we don’t intend to offend others, the way in which we think, communicate, and behave often is offensive to others. Our individual differences show up in a display of different “Interaction” styles that are often misinterpreted. Understanding the differences in individual styles allows us to communicate and connect in a way that mutual understanding and respect is enhanced. In this session, participants will:

·         Gain insight into our and others “interaction” style and communication preferences.

·         Understand the difference in the “interaction” styles of others — how they think and communicate.

·         “Match” the styles of others to create connetion.

·         Learn to communicate with others more effectively in a way that increases understanding, respect, and results.

·         Strengthen professional working relationships and engagement.

·         Improve ability to connect with others.

·         Enhance ability to resolve conflict.
