Communicating Up, Down and Across the Organization

Gain recognition, build stronger work relationships and deliver high-value results!

This ability is especially crucial during times of economic uncertainty, where responsibilities can change unexpectedly and fresh ideas and input are essential at all organizational levels.

    I think it was very useful for talking to different types of people within and outside of your organization.

    Great facilitator ... great information. Thought the template for a "Persuasive and Motivating Message" seemed geared more at preparing for a presentation rather than how the speech itself could be laid out. I missed how to gain access to the handouts ... fortunately they were provided to the class at the beginning of the online session. Probably could have a bit more time for some of the breakout discussions.
