Communication challenges are a universal problem, but by learning to recognize different communication styles and adjust messages, employees can more effectively achieve their desired outcomes.<\/p>\n

An upcoming webinar, \u2018Maximizing your impact: Tailoring communication to your stakeholders,\u2019 will take place Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 11 a.m. as part of the free weekly Business Breathers<\/a> webinar series facilitated by the Goodman School of Businesses\u2019 Goodman Group. Business Breathers feature 30 minutes of live industry and faculty expert-led discussions, followed by a 15-minute question-and-answer period. Topics focus on leadership, management and innovation, as well as the financial and social impacts of trending topics.<\/p>\n

Jacqueline King, CEO of learning and development company Everleap, will discuss differences in the ways people communicate and its impact on information-processing and decision-making. She\u2019ll teach participants how to recognize communication style and preferences, and how to tailor messages for maximum understanding and impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of us have this innate sense that our communication style is \u2018the right\u2019 communication style,\u201d said King. \u201cIf you\u2019re outspoken, you likely wish everyone would just get to the point. If you take time to process information, you probably think others can miss big issues by rushing into a decision. Just because you like to receive information in a certain way, doesn\u2019t mean everyone else feels the same way. There is no one \u2018right\u2019 communication style. Every style brings unique benefits and challenges. Understanding them can help us recognize the value in what others can bring to the table, and conversely, where we may need to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n

King recommends starting with a person\u2019s manager, clients, or the employees they manage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt may be very beneficial to understand your boss\u2019s style and how to best tailor your communication to them,\u201d she said. \u201cAlso, if you understand the communication styles of the staff you manage, you can more effectively cultivate strategies to motivate and develop them.\u201d<\/p>\n
