Here’s what I hear from business and organizational leaders lately:

• Retaining our employees is important to us. What can we do to help foster a positive workplace culture and sense of collegiality here?

• Our team has been experiencing misunderstandings and tensions across personal communication styles and generational or other social differences. How can we help with this?

Participants of the Adventures in Team Communication workshops complete the series with answers to these questions and more. They also gain relevant practice in applying everyday communication skills that lead to meaningful culture shifts, including new ways of understanding emotions at work, civility, feedback, better practices with email, and creating a work culture of learning, belonging, and thriving.
