Women and leadership australia What Impact Are Your Conversations Having?
19 June | Riff Co-working spaces, 45 ST Georges Terrace
If you’re anything like me, sometimes networking can be a little brain numbing or daunting filled with repeated questions and small talk. How do you utilise this time, so you actually benefit from said conversations? Sandra Booth from Believe Achieve Coaching & Consulting is here to answer our prayers with an interactive and insightful small group program where we’ll explore how our conversations impact us, and what we can do to improve them together in order to influence, engage, and resolve conflict in healthy ways with others. Would be rude not to.
