Soft Skills for Better Communication

Many characteristics can make communication successful or not. Let’s Talk Communication focuses on the Soft Skill attributes and how important they are to keep in mind when having a conversation. School district staff are busy and sometimes don’t think about these when dealing with others. When having a conversation with all parties ensuring your staff knows these when wanting to have a successful conversation with anyone in any situation is key. Does your staff know and use them? If not, shouldn’t they start?

Let’s Talk today and we can see.

Tactical Do’s and Don’ts of Customer Communication

How comfortable is your staff on the Do’s and Don’t of conversations? We are busy and sometimes we speak before we think. Once spoken it can either turn a conversation or ruin a relationship and trust within. Let’s Talk Communication can provide that extra reminder on what to do and what not to do to help you keep relationships, whether administrators, staff, students, and parents intact. This is key to keeping what you have worked hard to develop in one piece or improving some relationships. Ready to have the peace of mind everyone working in your district has this knowledge.

Communication Techniques

Are people within your school district aware that there are 3 main factors you must remember when using any communication technique? One or all of them are often forgotten and they are key to having a successful and productive conversation. Let’s Talk Communication focuses on these in your unique situation and can assist you in providing reminders to help you do your best in making every situation, in your school district, a positive one. Is your school district using them?

If you are unable to answer both questions with a “Yes”, then contact Let’s Talk today so we can help make all your communications a positive experience for all.

FAQ

I am always here to answer your questions

With the technology we use, ie: Emails, Text and Social Media, conversations aren’t the method of choice for communication. With issues that arise with school boards conversations are still a more effective way of dealing with any issue that arises. Having this training can help refresh the skills needed to avoid any misunderstanding, allowing your board to have a positive resolution in most if not all situations.

Yes, I have done this before for school districts. It is a very productive use of time and have had good reviews.

With the technology we use, ie: Emails, Text and Social Media, conversations aren’t the method of choice for communication. With issues that arise in the schools and/or districts,  conversations are still more effective when dealing with any situation that arises. I provide a refresher or help educate staff on how to to have effective and efficient conversations to have a positive outcome.

With so many students not having the conversational skills needed to job interviews, presentations and entrance interviews because of their access to all the technology out there these days, bringing this into the schools would be a major benefit for the students. Having my training program would help provide them the skills to ensure they went into every situation with a little more confidence and comfort. This in turn makes it a more positive situation for everyone.
