GWIT: "Predator, Prey or Partner" Seminar (18:15-21:00) |
| |
GWIT is delighted to host Amy Carroll for a 'Predator, Prey or Partner" seminar in LAUSANNE.
How we say what we say is currency that is used to negotiate the power in each relationship, whether we are talking with colleagues, superiors or customers. A majority of lost productivity in business is a result of us getting consumed in this power struggle believing that we are actually communicating about the issues. This program gives participants the awareness, motivation and skills to consciously make the choice to step into Partner in all their interactions. Register & info at www.gwit.ch
