Communication, n: the transmission or interchange of thoughts, feelings,
information, opinions, desires, intentions, purposes, and goals by speech, writing, or sign.

This one-day program for up to 15 executives is a highly interactive exploration of high-performance communication principles and behaviors, including video, presentation, discussion, and group exercises.

The overall aim of this program is to acknowledge and fully appreciate the importance of effective communication in the workplace; how to create a culture in which people are expected to speak in an open, honest, direct, and timely manner; how to produce a conscious, purposeful, and intentional effect every time we speak; and how to speak with clarity, credibility and confidence.

All relationships, performance, and productivity are fully dependent upon the clarity and quality of communication.

A Culture of Conscious Communication is one in which people choose to have open, honest, timely communications intended to share information, provide feedback, strengthen relationships, build trust, solve problems, realize goals, and produce positive results.

In order to create this kind of culture, a set of carefully considered communication principles, defined behaviorally, must be created, embraced, and modeled by managers and leaders of an organization.

The output of the day is a set of behaviorally-defined communication principles that become the way people communicate — all the time.

"Good working relationships depend on flowing communication.
When we truly care about working together, we know the importance of understanding
and being understood, of being clear and honest in what we say and how we say it.
We listen to and support each other, and problems in our work are dealt with smoothly.
We help each other willingly, accomplishing our goals together, sharing all of our energy.
We are sensitive to the internal messages from our own feelings and thoughts,
and therefore we are also sensitive to the people we work with.
A natural harmony and caring result when we communicate well."
—Tarthang Tulku, Tibetan meditation master
