Creating a Culture of Communication and Collaboration
Through empathy, creativity, and trust
If you’ve gone through a merger, had a change in leadership, or another major organizational shift, you may be observing the following behaviors: miscommunication, distrust, friction between “newbies” and “veterans,” and/or people working in silos.
This interpersonal communication program aims to address these challenges and improve company culture by bringing people from different teams together to learn the skills and behaviors necessary to cultivate a culture of communication and collaboration beginning with how you communicate and connect.
