In annual surveys, CEOs and chief operating officers indicate that safety professionals lack business leadership – the ability to look beyond safety and make decisions that take into account the entire business. Two major factors that affect leadership are perception and communication. Perception is reality. Do others perceive you as you want to be perceived? If not, either you need to change or they need to change – or both. The right communication skills can make this happen. This interactive session will guide you through the sources of others’ perceptions of us and how to use communication to make the necessary changes that will allow you to be a business leader.
