NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION
WHILE WEARING A FACE COVERING
"lessons learned so far, and considerations for the future"
​
These affordable and informative 90 minute online micro training sessions are designed to provide insightful and relevant training topics to a wide spectrum of industry professionals with the objective of enhanced reopening and returning to normal operations in the post COVID-19 era. The past year revealed how much people subconsciously rely on being able to see someone's mouth in everyday communications. Once that part of the face was obscured by a protective mask, determining mood, intention, subtle social cues, smiling and frowning became difficult, sometimes leading to miscommunications or confusing exchanges. This webinar focuses on how to use non-verbal communications as successful strategies for communicating in a mask to avoid misunderstandings and create positive interactions.

TRAINING TOPIC UPDATE (JUST ADDED)- "what if my state lifts the mask mandate"?
