Mentoring Matters Talk – July (2022)

Have you ever experienced a situation where the leader thinks the work to be done is crystal clear but the team members needed to get to a successful outcome don’t seem to get it?

What does it take for a leader to ensure that everyone in the team knows exactly the why, what, who, when, where, and how of an endeavor?

In this month’s Mentoring Matters Talk, Anthony Lee and Brian Sparkes will be discussing the 5 critical aspects of communicating as a leader.

Consider these 5 aspects in a leader’s communication toolbox:

1. Building trust with the “Connection Triangle”.
2. Vision – “Where are we going?”
3. Value – “Why this is important?”
4. Vows – “What is our bold promise?”
5. The importance of developing a message portfolio. “You’re perceived only as good as you can communicate.”

If you are wondering how effectively you are communicating as a leader or a leader-in-the-making, don’t miss this opportunity to interact with Anthony, Brian, other guests, and the rest of our community. We are constantly looking for ways to become better leaders.
