Speaking Too Much in Meetings: Causes, Consequences & Corrections

Overview

This webinar is a candid, insight-driven session that examines why professionals over-talk in meetings, what it communicates to those around them, and what the real consequences are for their careers and teams.

Participants will leave with a deep understanding of the causes and effects of over-talking and the awareness needed to begin correcting this behaviour in themselves and supporting others to do the same.

This is not a coaching session it is a professional awareness and accountability session that challenges participants to see their communication habits honestly and understand what is truly at stake.
