Communicating for Impact—Virtual

Emphasizing the complex communication challenges facing today's leaders, especially at the intersection of business, social justice, and public service, the program will help you develop more effective approaches to communicating in a wide range of situations. Through case discussions, in-class simulations, hands-on exercises, and small-group discussions, you will discover and practice the techniques of effective communication. You'll also see many of the techniques discussed in class put into action by the faculty in a series of virtual fireside chats.

The program takes place over two weeks, with live online classes Monday through Friday (11:00 AM to 1:45 PM ET) including a 15-minute break. The program will also feature self-paced lessons, small group discussions, and networking opportunities. Class sessions will take place via the Zoom platform. You will also have ample opportunity for interaction with faculty and peers inside and outside the class sessions.

Collaborative learning is an integral part of the experience. To maximize the benefit for everyone, you are expected to attend every session, complete all assignments, and contribute effectively in the class and in small groups.

Participants should expect to spend at least 9-12 hours on self-paced case preparation prior to attending the program. Case materials will be made available approximately two weeks prior to program start.
