Effective communication is important in the workplace for many reasons, and while most lawyers were taught written and verbal communication skills throughout their educational career, many attorneys did not receive any formal education related to handling workplace communications. As a result, many lawyers haven’t received guidance on how to handle difficult conversations at work, or how to communicate effectively during meetings and phone calls. Please join us on August 14 to learn tips to help you communicate well in the workplace.
