Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Auditorium
60 Franklin St.
Cambridge, MA
How important is effective communication in the scientific workplace? We have all experienced, perhaps more often than we like, a message or conversation resulting in frustration for all parties involved. Even after thoughtful attention to every word, tone and delivery of a message, we may be left confused and exhausted from shifting through misunderstandings and differing expectations. This event will provide you with a framework for transforming the powerful tools of speaking, writing, and body language, into building the most important element in better communication, the building of human relationships.
