FEI Milwaukee: Aleta Norris - Communication By Design

Commonly, people struggle with communication in the workplace, especially addressing unmet expectations! Communicate By Design was developed to address this struggle. In this session, we will discuss the natural human tendencies to default to disrespectful communication under pressure. To help combat these tendencies, we will introduce tools to help you communicate more effectively, particularly under pressure:
  • Consider the other person’s current situation
  • Ask more than tell; share gratitude, choose words more intentionally
  • Be aware of what your own behavior looks like under pressure
  • Establish standards so you do not ‘misbehave’ under pressure
  • Follow a six-step process to work through a difficult conversation
