Effective communication skills are the foundation of high-functioning leaders, successful project teams, strong client relationships, and optimal organizational performance. These skills are essential for interior designers to succeed. How we communicate when opinions differ, costs are impacted, or emotions surface, can jeopardize both the relationships and the results.

This session will address how to handle difficult conversations in the workplace, focusing on the interior design and construction industry. It will provide useful techniques to resolve issues and strengthen relationships.
