If you ask anyone how to be a successful engineer or project professional, they will tell you you need good communication skills. However, they will rarely tell you how to develop them. In this session, you will learn practical strategies that can be used on a daily basis to incrementally improve your communication skills, including your ability to communicate with others. Implementing these strategies will put you on the inside track to be a top engineering manager because you will be in the small percentage of engineers who can communicate effectively on a regular basis.

If you follow the strategies provided in this session, this one session alone can have a massively positive impact on your engineering career and life.

In this session you will learn how to:

• Understand the different forms of communication and when to use each of them.
• Communicate effectively internally and externally,
• Say things in a way that will help you get the response you are seeking,
• Listen more effectively (the key to communication), and
• Be responsive so people want to communicate with you.
