Communicating for Impact—Virtual
Summary
Today's leaders must communicate with clarity, conviction, and compassion. Institutions and the individuals who lead them are being held to account in new ways. That's especially challenging with uncertain business conditions and in an increasingly diverse and contentious world. What's more, interactions have become increasingly fractured across different communication modalities (in person, virtual, and hybrid), making everything from internal management to external collaboration to negotiations harder than ever. In this live online program, you will strengthen your ability to lead and communicate powerfully in different settings—public and private, in person and on virtual communication platforms like Zoom, and through routine or especially difficult interactions. As you discover and sharpen your authentic voice, you will gain new ability to get your message across.
