Overview of the webinar

Have Impact in Every Conversation goes beyond theory and provides practical ideas on how to recognize what motivates others, how to diffuse tension before it escalates, and how to communicate feedback in ways that are both honest and constructive.

Understanding personality preferences is another key component in removing the mystery of workplace behaviors.

Do some of your team members or colleagues focus on results while others emphasize process? Why do some speak directly while others prefer a gentler approach? By exploring contrasts such as logic versus emotion or speed versus accuracy, you will s gain a deeper appreciation for diverse perspectives and learn to flex or negotiate your own approach to achieve more effective outcomes.

Why should you attend?

Have Impact in Every Conversation addresses one of the biggest hidden drains on productivity: ineffective communication. Poorly handled conversations lead to rework, disengagement, strained relationships, and lost momentum. By sharpening listening skills, asking better questions, and choosing words strategically, you will learn how to save time, reduce friction, and move conversations forward with clarity and purpose.

Have Impact is especially valuable for high potentials, emerging leaders, and managers who want their team to excel.  Inspiring commitment rather than mere compliance is a goal of this program. Participants discover how to communicate in ways that motivate others, encourage collaboration, and foster psychological safety. 

When people feel heard and respected, they are more willing to contribute ideas, solve problems, and go the extra mile—creating stronger teams and healthier workplace cultures.
