EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AT WORK

In the digital age, as workers increasingly go remote, the ability to communicate clearly and effectively is―now more than ever―a highly desirable skill. Whether you talk, text, or email, Effective Communication at Work has everything you need to help boost your workplace performance and productivity

IT BEGINS WITH PLEASE

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO "PLEASE" AND "THANK YOU"? We live in a world where respect, gratitude, and appreciation have been replaced by efficiency, dismissiveness, and even fear of genuine connection. Sometimes, we don't stare up from our screens and devices long enough to realize there is even another person on the other side of the tweet or email. "Is anybody out there?" One thing is for sure: this speed of life has taken a toll on our basic use of good manners and etiquette. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the decline of professional business communications.

WHAT IS YOUR STORY…

We connect with others through shared experiences. Sharing relatable stories is how we have passed down lessons from generation to generation. It is also how we can help another get through a difficult season. Sharing your story may assist others to share theirs.

THE BRAND

The Lion represents strength, leadership, and courage. The scratches over the eye are the battle scars of life - see past your battles and remain mindful of life lessons and experiences. The Lion looking forward with roaring showing his teeth signifies, “I am ready, focused, and prepared to face the next challenge. " Lastly, the slanted Crown, is a reminder to adjust your Crown and mindset accordingly and it also serves as a reminder that...I AM ROYALTY!

There is a story behind every King and Queen, we have all overcome some type of adversity, some more than others. It is a story of how we "Failed. Overcame. Succeeded. ©” We have failed or been knocked down, but we rise and stand as KINGS and QUEENS!

FAILED.OVERCAME.SUCCEEDED.©

Everyone has a story...the evidence of battles is displayed by visible and invisible scars while others are displayed with a Crown of victory, but both are reminders of how we "Failed. Overcame. Succeeded. ©”
