Language is power.
We see how pop culture can affect entire societies, how social media can influence people worldwide, or how a speech can change the course of history.
On the other hand, a simple text message can alter a relationship, a short email exchange can impact our growth at work, and untimely silence can feel unbearable.
Communication is a critical skill that impacts our lives and careers. So why do so many of us struggle to use it effectively?
Tenable’s Chief Communications Officer, Michela Stribling, learned that if she never vocalized her needs and aspirations in the workplace, she wasn’t going to access growth and development opportunities.
Michela wants to help you identify the ways that you can improve upon your current communication skills to propel your professional development.
In this chat, you will learn:
- Identifying career goals
- The powerful impact of advocating for growth
- How compelling storytelling can make you a better leader
- Practical tips for improving your communication skills
Meet The Speaker
