Virtual Communication Skills for Engineering leaders
Interactive Online Training
for Engineering Leaders
WHAT TO EXPECT
We’ve trained thousands of successful engineering leaders and engineers over the last 30 years. We know the complex situations you face and how to help you develop the skills you need to be effective in creating the exact outcomes you want.
It takes real communication ability to successfully lead an engineering team, gain vital support from senior leadership and collaborate with your peers.
It takes even greater communication skill to do it when you’re virtual.
You can be the smartest engineer in the room, but it’s ultimately your communication skills that determine your effectiveness and success as a leader.
Your skills also determine how long it takes you to get your ideas across, understood and accepted. As one of our students told us, “What used to take me 30 minutes to persuade someone is now taking 3.”
This incredibly interactive and fast-paced webinar is just for you. We’re going to focus on the types of situations you face as an engineering leader, especially when you’re virtual.
You’ll learn how to:
Express yourself clearly
Successfully lead a group of smart engineers with opposing views
Smoothly turn debates into productive collaboration
Get your meetings to come to consensus quickly
Persuade senior leadership of needed changes
Get other department leaders on board
Coach engineers who get emotional
Swiftly resolve conflicting priorities with other leaders
Make your virtual meetings energizing instead of exhausting
Build strong, positive and supportive relationships
Prepare yourself for a highly interactive 90 minutes. Ingrid and Janet will illustrate each skill you’re learning with live coaching demonstrations with volunteers. You’ll see exactly HOW to develop each skill. You’ll have a front row seat to dramatic “before” & “after” results you can apply immediately to your own virtual conversations and meetings.
If you’ve ever seen or experienced Ingrid or Janet’s coaching, you know what an unforgettable learning experience that is. (Hint: If you’re ready to leave your comfort zone, volunteer to be coached, an experience which all past participants have called “life-changing”.)
You’ll also get a chance to participate during live Q & A so you get immediate answers to your questions.
Ingrid and Janet will set you up to win with ALL of your virtual communications.
