Education

Mind the Gap - LevelUP your Communication Skills!

“Mind the Gap” is a British term used in train/tube stations to warn people of the danger should they not avoid the gap between the platform and the train.  But, gaps in our mind are something to be “minded” too! When we do not receive all of the information, we often begin filling these mental gaps with less than solid, accurate information. The result is that we find ourselves, our customers, and our colleagues at a destination far from intended: Frustration Station. During this fun and interactive session, we will identify three communication gaps we can “mind” as well as tools to prevent and/or mend them. Participants will leave better equipped to avoid communication pitfalls resulting in better interactions personally and professionally.
