Facilitated By: Michael Lewis, Director and Founder - Michael Lewis Training, Motivation and Development
In this workshop we discuss and examine some case studies that highlight and emphasize the importance of respect as it applies to our personal and professional lives. We'll look at five steps you can take to resolve issues when they emerge. We'll discover the importance of listening and common yet important communication skills…and then we see how they come together. We'll experience how our words and actions can impact others and we'll always remember going forward that words and actions can be like weapons to some and that we always have the power and opportunity to present " roses". Finally, we'll commit to being kind and know its value in our day to day interactions and learn what it takes to be an "uplifter”and being a positive influence on everyone you meet.
