Sue

Sue

One of Sue’s favourite workshops, effective communication is about more than just exchanging information. It’s about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information. As well as being able to clearly convey a message, you need to also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what’s being said and makes the other person feel heard and understood.

Sue covers the importance of listening and how to speak with clarity to ensure your message is delivered and understood as you intend.
