Find Your Brave
Find your voice – have the hard conversations.
It is hard to find the courage if you don’t know how to start the conversation. Holding hard conversations is a huge source of angst for leaders today. At times, conversations can be awkward, confrontational and exhausting!
It is critical for leaders to understand the impact and cost of not having the conversations that need to be had. Recent data tells us that 1 in 4 people put off having a tough conversation; on average, employees spend 3-4 hours a week thinking about a hard conversation. Is this you?

Communicate to Connect
Connected people are engaged people.
In today’s hybrid workplace, effective communication is more important than it has even been. Leaders must understand the role their communication plays in connecting or disconnecting with their people. It’s relevant because right now, as a community we are disconnected. As a workforce with less face-to-face contact, we are detached and disengaged. Research suggests that at least 70% of the workforce is currently disengaged.
Consider this. Every action, every facial expression, every tense muscle tells a story. You are communicating even when you are not talking. We are familiar with the statistic, 97% of all communication is non-verbal. A statistic that is more relevant today than ever before. When you talk, you become a walking megaphone with every change in your voice tone magnified! What is the messaging you are sending your team? They can hear you.
In this presentation, Velia shares her experiences and funny stories to reinforce the renewed importance and critical role of effective communication today. Audiences will hear about the three actions they can apply immediately to improve their connection and engagement with their team.
