The Communication Connection: Speak from the Heart

The Communication Connection: Speak (and Listen) from the Heart is a dynamic, "hands-on" seminar that will dramatically change the way you talk, listen, and connect with others. It will teach seminar participants that being a truly great communicator is not simply about being naturally articulate or being a "good talker." It is not about fancy visuals and dry PowerPoint presentations, or hard-core sales pitches, or who does a "data dump" with tons of facts, figures, and technical wizardry. What really counts is making an authentic connection with other people that comes not merely from the head but from the heart. more
