As a manager, supervisor, continuous improvement facilitator, or coach, you know that communication is a key skill for success and improvement. So, how we are communicating? We know what we say is important, right? And most of us would acknowledge that HOW we say it is important too. But think about this –you’re still communicating, even when you are not physically the shop floor or in the room or on the Zoom call. We’re going to take a trip to the Edges of Lean and explore many aspects of non-verbal communication -even the ones that happen when you are not there!.
My guests are Shelly O’Donovan and Jason Haines.
Shelly O’Donovan is the CEO of the Authentic Influence Group. She teaches Persuasive Speaking at the Wharton School, of the University of Pennsylvania. She has led vaccine advocacy for Glaxo Smith Kline, worked as a healthcare lobbyist, and served as a staffer in state government. She has been focused on cultivating authentic influence her entire career, and decoding what makes people tick. Shelly has an MPA from the University of Pennsylvania, a Marketing certification from Wharton School (of UPENN), a BA in political science. She has a certification in body language training and the big 5 personality from a behavioral research lab.
