Principal Offers Women's Communications Teleconference
Principal made the announcement in a news release that it would offer the no-fee class, Now Hear This! – Lessons on Effective Listening, August 29 at noon CDT.
According to the announcement, the class will advise female business owners on the importance of effective communication for their organization’s bottom line and how to quickly improve their own listening skills.
Principal said that few executives have time to
analyze their listening style and consider how it
affects those around them, suggesting that listening
effectively to the needs, frustrations and ideas of
employees, clients and partners is paramount to
breakthrough growth within an organization.
“Listening is a key and underutilized business tool that can benefit an organization greatly if leaders go beyond simply being present for a conversation,” said Michelle Swanda, corporate marketing manager of Principal. “This class will teach women business owners how to listen to frustrations and ideas within the workplace and become better communicators.”
Speaker Judith Glaser founded Benchmark Communications, a firm that works with CEOs and their teams on competitive challenges. More information on the seminar is at www.principal.com/women.
