Good communication skills are essential in today’s workplace. Whether it’s communication with tact and diplomacy, managing up, dealing with difficult people, understanding people’s communication styles, using emotional intelligence or listening to others. Knowing how to communicate can mean the difference between success and failure. How do we communicate effectively in tough moments, to design norms that encourage cohesion and resilience, and to create cultures of creativity, inclusiveness, and innovation.

During part two of IIDA NE's Speaker Series: Communicating During Collaboration, the first half hour was instructor-led learning followed by a 45-minute panel discussion with selected IIDA NE members from Boston, Providence and Hartford.
