Stop Fighting Your Team’s Brain Types, Start Using Them
Why do some colleagues think best in meetings while others need time to process? Learn the three brain types that drive workplace communication and discover five proven strategies to improve team collaboration and decision making.
Shut up and Listen!
Engagement, a cornerstone of communication, is critical in the workplace for fostering positive relationships and ultimately, achieving better business outcomes. Yet, if I had a dollar for every resume claiming “I’m a great communicator,” I’d be well on my way to retirement. The reality is that many people struggle with one fundamental aspect of communication - true engagement.
Why? Because we don’t know how to listen.
Sparrowly Group’s Giovanna Lever shares her tips to mastering deep and long lasting engagement.
Culture - more than dinners and ping pong
