ELITE Business Connector

How to Develop and Master Business Social Skills

Keynote Description

Soft skills have become hard skills for so many in business these days. We simply talk too much, listen too little, and rarely ask any questions. We can attribute it to generational differences and personality types to a global pandemic.

But the reality is there has never been a larger need for the soft skills of business social skills. Yet too many times they’re either minimized, brushed over, or simply ignored but have a huge effect on the social aspect in business from sales to customer service and hospitality.

But how can we make this change?

Elite Business Connector keynote focuses on how to develop and master business social skills by leveraging three specific focus areas of communication which is all about me then conversation which is all about you or me and ends with connection which is all about us.

How you communicate is how you connect and when you connect is when you influence. This high-energy, interactive, and inspiring keynote will engage your audience and giving them a fresh perspective on business social skills and leaving them motivated and ready to maximize future business interactions differently and effectively.
