August Breakfast Meeting
Why Communication Is So Hard—And How to Fix It
A Presentation by
Laura Creekmore
Are you inundated by email? Does it take a 10-email chain to schedule a quick meeting with only three people? Do you have trouble figuring out whether someone emailed you, texted you, sent a message on Slack, or used social media? Are your customers impatient and constantly asking questions you know you’ve already answered?
Join the club. We’re all overwhelmed by massive amounts of information, and it leads to predictable snafus—missed appointments, delayed replies, and broken promises that make us look unprofessional and create more stress.
Making small changes in the way you communicate can pay off in big benefits for you, your colleagues, and your customers. Laura will share some small communication tweaks to give you more time, less frustration, and happier customers.
