Session Chair:
Kelsey Amundson (Los Alamos National Lab)
Authenticity is a buzzword. Search “high performing teams” and the word authentic will appear in reference to individuals, relationships, communication, and more. But what does authenticity mean in a team context?
What, precisely, do we mean by authentic communication? Will authentic communication really make a difference in the health, happiness, and success of your team? How can you encourage authentic communication in others?
In this session, we will work with a Communication Toolkit, which will allow you to choose from a variety of tools to communicate authentically in professional situations, whether in a team setting or one-on-one, as well as to bring out authentic communication in others.
We will use elements of storytelling to add depth to our communication, and you will learn a framework for refining your message for your intended audience.
