CSL's primary definition of leadership is 'Leadership is the capacity to develop and sustain multiple key relationships toward a common purpose.' How do leaders communicate with others? What sets them aside from the average communicator? In this workshop you will learn CSL's time-tested strategies for empathic communication that have been practiced and refined by thousands of executives around the world. You will learn how to become a compassionate leader who makes others feel appreciated and respected, yet also drives the initiative forward toward tremendous results. You will learn how to make commitments you can keep and keep the commitments you make. You will learn how to see others as they are, not as you are. You will also learn why leaders always listen at least twice as much as they speak. You will then learn how you can speak with a voice of authenticity, passion and conviction that inspires others. You will learn how to convey what you have to say within the context of what other people understand so every word counts. Finally, you will learn how to hold your anxiety when others disagree with you, build synergy whenever possible, and use effective communication to help you move forward toward your vision and goals. [Upon request, this workshop can include videotaped role-plays of your communication style for group feedback.]
