continuingstudies.wisc.edu/0841-C-LAAS See upcoming datesSummary
This class is one full day, offered in a participatory live-online format with brief prework.
Both men and women face challenges to reaching their goals in organizations. Being understood as intended when communicating is inherently complex because of the fundamental nature of human perception and the influence of almost any difference between sender and receiver, including gender. Drawing from academic research and the collective experience of those in the program (including men, who are welcome), we will explore practical communication strategies for women to help them effectively navigate today's dynamic workplace.
