WBIS April Luncheon with Sue Thompson
Thursday, April 8, 2010 11:30 AM thru 1:30 PM
Location: Country Club of Fairfax
View Event Details

 

We have a VERY SPECIAL GUEST joining us for our April luncheon.  Sue Thompson, owner of Set Free Life Seminars, will be joining us for a combined chapter luncheon to be held April 8 in Fairfax.

Have you noticed yet that you work with people who are different than you?  Do you sometimes struggle to understand what makes them so challenging?  The employee who likes to talk and looks for ways to have fun has a different internal structure than the methodical plodder.  The team player on the go is fired up by something the slow and easy coworker doesn't understand.  What's the most effective way to communicate with and relate to those who don't see things as we do?

Learn a simple way of identifying personalities and gain a view of how to communicate so they can hear you!  This is not a complex system that requires an understanding of psychology, but a tool that is easy, fun, and practical, because you already possess the necessary equipment: your eyes!  You will leave seeing yourself and others in a whole new light!

  1. You'll find you can "speed read" most people based on visual and verbal cues
  2. You will know how to adjust your style to communicate with greater effectiveness
  3. You will find it easier to create strategies in dealing with the difficult
