Administrative Professionals Series: Expanding Your Ability to Influence - All Three Days, March 9-25, 2021
Webinar Overview:
This is the first 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.
Diplomacy, tact, and discretion are all key communication concepts in building a professional image and in building the trust that is necessary in good relationships. As an administrative professional, you are in situations with internal and external customers that must be handled diplomatically and tactfully. Your position also makes you privy to information that must be handled with the utmost discretion. In this two-part webinar, the importance of these concepts will be thoroughly examined. Specific examples of situations, phrasing, and ethical dilemmas that call for diplomacy, tact, and discretion will be used during class instruction and role play.
