Effective internal communication is needed for any organization to successfully function. However, establishing healthy communication practices continues to be a recurring struggle for many organizations. This webinar will discuss some of the reasons why effective communication is so difficult to establish at all levels of the organization, unveil best practices to help in this pursuit, as well as explain how workplace meetings—with an emphasis on virtual meetings—can be used to demonstrate some of these ideas and techniques.

After the presentation, viewers will be able to:

a) understand common communication pitfalls,

b) develop a toolkit of techniques to establish effective communication, and

c) recognize how these techniques and ideas can be used within their (virtual) meetings and day-to-day workplace interactions.
