Communication Intelligence (CQ) Tools: Be your best-no matter what’s on your plate!

How can we respond better to uncomfortable, even heated moments when dealing with staff, customers, decision makers, bosses, parents, family members, teachers and others? How do we regain our composure when:

• We're sure "we're right and they're wrong"

• We take it personally

• We don't know how to 'just say no' to someone

• We've just had it with someone who doesn't 'get it' and find it hard to be our best

Result: Participants will use advanced communication tools to become more effective in challenging times.
