DESCRIPTION
“Why can’t they just figure it out on their own?” “What is taking him so long?!” “Why does she keep talking about stuff she doesn’t know about?” “Why can’t we ever have a productive team meeting?” In the typical workplace, there are a wide range of personality types, all trying to accomplish the same thing but having very different ways of doing it. We often label others as “control freaks” or “fly by the seat of her pants” types, sometimes using even less flattering terminology. Underneath those behaviors is a core personality trait – being introverted or extroverted – that informs whether we prefer to have lots of space or be rapid fire. So many business challenges have their roots in poor communication. This seminar will close the communication gap between the introverts and extroverts in your business, which opens up everyone to greater productivity and profitability. (PS: Don’t be surprised if you learn some things that help with your personal relationships, too!) Presented by Beth Buelow, a professional speaker and certified coach who speaks fluent introvert.
