9:00-9:50a Keynote Session: Breaking Down Barriers – Using Sports to Break Down Communication Barriers at Work
Jen Mueller, Talk Sporty To Me
Effective communication drives success. Here’s the catch: to be most effective, not all conversations and communication should be work-related. That’s where the true value of sports conversations at work is seen.
This presentation is ideal if your team feels out of sync, uncommunicative or unfriendly. Colleagues who know, like and trust each other work better together. Getting to that point is easier if they’re on the same page, speaking the same language and finding common ground.
Key takeaways include the following:
- Identify and avoid the most common communication barriers.
- Understand how sports conversations can play a key role in bridging communication gaps.
- Communicate in a way that your coworkers will listen and take action.
- Remove frustrating and unproductive conversations from your day.
