DiSC Effective Communication Series

Effective Communication Series

Learning Format: Classroom

Communication is a fundamentally important skill in any organization. Most organizations would also point out that effective communication is the biggest challenge they face on a day-to-day basis.

The Effective Supervisory Communication Series is designed to provide new and experienced leaders with the necessary skills to communicate productively in the workplace.
