Administrative Professionals Series: Expanding Your Ability to Influence - All Three Days, March 9-25, 2021

Webinar Overview:

This is the second of a three-part series of classes that provides utility-specific information directed toward administrative assistants and executive secretaries who want to become more effective in managing their tasks and in communicating with others. By registering for all three classes, you will receive a discount off the total registration fee.

This webinar builds specific skills that will help you explain and gain support for ideas that may entail difficult, complicated, or unpopular ideas, policies, or changes. Skills will include how to state the purpose and main point of a message; how to present points to aid understanding; how to summarize main points; and how to handle reactions to what is presented. One-on-one interactions, as well as skills for presenting ideas to a group, will be covered. You will leave with new verbal and non-verbal skills to help you organize, prepare, and present your ideas while overcoming any fear of speaking or speaking up.
