Leadership Effectiveness – How To Say Anything To Anyone

6/17/2020 - 11:30 AM – 12:45 PM CT

Want to be better with your business communications? Whether with clients, colleagues, or supervisors, communication is a big key in being successful. So how do you become a more effective communicator? This webinar, presented by Shari Harley – President of Candid Culture, provides attendees with concrete action items to help you establish trust in your working relationships, set expectations, and ultimately help you become a better communicator and consultant.

The Conference of Consulting Actuaries (CCA) understands that social distancing rules, remain in place orders, and other responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have changed the world in which we live. As an organization focused on delivering high-quality continuing education to our members and the profession at large, we already have a robust distance-learning webinar series with flexible pricing options for individuals and groups. However, in recognition of this new environment, we are modifying our webinar policy for group registrations to ensure that those who are now working from a home office can join with their co-workers and participate in leading-edge continuing education.
