Effective communication is one of the hallmarks of leadership, but the reality is that many leaders communicate primarily from their own comfort zone. The best leaders have a high level of self-awareness and the ability to adapt their communication style to the needs of the audience. This webinar will focus on becoming a more effective communicator by striving to understand your own communication style and the styles of others. Learn how to communicate like the leader you are!
