Countless studies have found direct connections between a person’s communication skills and their professional success. In today’s world, most of your professional contacts only know you virtually. What does your computer-side manner say about you? Is it helping or hindering your professional success? From an organizational standpoint, communication barriers cost the average organization $62.4 million per year in lost productivity. From an individual standpoint, the impact of these communication mistakes—many you may be unaware you’re even making—can be just as costly. And in today’s increasingly divisive and litigious society, most people will never tell you you’re making these mistakes, but that doesn’t mean they don’t impact your brand, your opportunities, and possibly your career. Join renowned communications expert Dr. Ali Atkison as she explores “computer-side manner,” a concept she introduces in her book, launching in mid-2023. Computer-side manner is the holistic picture of how you “show up” in your computer-mediated communication. Dr. Ali will explain why computer-side manner matters and cover common mistakes in your digital communication that may be holding you back professionally. In this interactive session you’ll learn specific and easy-to employ brain-based tactics for achieving impactful communication, which is communication that accomplishes what you want it to, and that allows you to stand out as the professional you need to be to achieve success.

We know that this past quarter (and maybe even the whole of 2023) has been tough on all of us. That's why we're grateful to have Tony Sanders come and share some invaluable insights on burnout and self-care.  We can't stress enough the importance of taking care of ourselves, especially during these challenging times.

We encourage you to actively participate in this session and take away valuable knowledge that you can implement in your daily life.  But don't worry, it won't be all serious business! After our session with Tony, we'll be switching gears and having some fun as we focus on setting ourselves up for success in 2024. This interactive session will be all about you and helping you prepare for the upcoming year.  So get ready to relax, recharge, and renew with us during this unique session. Let's make sure we're taking care of ourselves so that we can continue to thrive both personally and professionally. We're excited to see what 2024 has in store for us and we know that with the tools and knowledge we'll gain from Tony, we'll be better equipped to handle whatever comes our way. Register - In Person
