Communicating Across Styles
Why is it easy to communicate with some individuals while communicating with others creates conflict and confusion? Communication and behavioral styles vary from person to person and are culturally bound; some are compatible with ours and, for various reasons, some are not. By understanding our own behavioral strengths and learning how to identify and value behavioral strengths in others, we can improve the way we work with others across styles, discover viable solutions to resolve conflict, and relieve stress that comes with miscommunication. During this session, keynote speaker Dr. Amy Tolbert uses audience activities in a session that is motivating, inspirational and can be life-changing (okay – educational and informative, too)!

Leading Across Styles: Adapting for Maximum Effectiveness
Imagine how leadership effectiveness would improve if you could control your communication outcomes!

Leaders spend most of their time communicating. Therefore, it is no surprise that the most effective leaders are great communicators. Using behavioral style practices to develop communication strategies can improve leadership skills and maximize your effectiveness with employees, clients, customers, and other leaders.

When you hone your ability to influence and persuade, you enhance several workforce aspects: increase the impact of feedback, develop coaching and mentoring skills, cultivate teamwork from a diverse group of employees, motivate according to style, reduce team conflict, and model behavior for others to emulate as they interact with each other.

Leaders increase awareness and develop leadership communication strategies to increase performance and bottom-line results.
