Northern Nevada Chamber of Commerce BizFlash

Communicating & Networking for Healthy Change & Growth

Location: Circus Circus Casino Ballroom in Reno.

Fee: Free to Chamber members, $10 for non-members.

Registration: On-line at http://www.northernnevadachamber.org/mixers.htm or 775-358-1976

With a New Year come new opportunities to focus, plan and execute positive change and growth. What better way to begin 2000 than by first growing your own communication and networking skills that ultimately lead to a healthier work and personal environment.

This BizFlash is an introduction to a dynamic series of four professional development workshops for chamber members (absolutely free of charge) who think outside the box and want to build a foundation of vital leadership skills to help themselves and their businesses thrive. Attendees learn key networking, communication, problem solving and planning skills in practical, interactive workshops that build professional effectiveness and encourage growth.

Workshop Focus Areas:

• Vital Communication Skills – It’s one thing to speak well, another to listen, and yet another to brilliantly write, read, interpret, etc. Communication becomes most effective by recognizing its countless styles, how and when to use the best method, and understanding the varied communication approaches that work best for each individual with whom we converse. Mastering the many communication styles will help you to avoid misunderstandings, reduce conflict, create a happier workplace and obtain better information to run your business.

• Deeper Networking Strategies – Productive networking goes far beyond social communication – it is a strategic and significant practice used by productive and smart business men and women that allows professional and solid relationships to be established and grown with trust.
