Overcoming Barriers to Communication (updated AP-COM course)

Tuesday, March 22nd 1-3pm  Sign up here - https://misportal.jlab.org/training/classes/109437

Overcoming Barriers to Communication is a course created to assist employees to understand various barriers to communication.  Through this course, attendees will realize the impact of medium and delivery on communication, recognize potential barriers to effective communication and how this translates into everyday work interactions.  Participants will understand cultural differences (language and cultural context), gender stereotypes and unconscious bias, and how all these factors hinder good communication.  Participants will learn strategies and gain tools on how to become more effective communicators.

Please share this email to your colleagues in case they are not currently part of the Inclusion Mailing List.  Signing up is easy.  Just click here - Inclusion Mailing List<https://mailman.jlab.org/mailman/listinfo/inclusion>

Have a great day,
Aurora
