Stephanie Paul is a Writer, Producer, owner of AdvanceYour.org and Presentation Coach for TEDx productions. She asks why do so many organizations not see that an investment in communication and connection skills should be our number one priority? Statistics say 98% of your audience has never trained in listening skills, so how do you engage them? Research shows 93% of employers consider communication skills more important than a college graduates major! Multiple studies done internationally show the number 1 quality we look for in others socially, professionally and privately is humor and you are more likely to be 100% likable if you are sincere, transparent and have empathy. Listen as we explore these issues with Stephanie.
