Don’t we all feel the push/pull of conflict and miscommunication? I personally don’t like it, but I also know it seems to happen even when I’m working hard to avoid it. This is why Jenn Whitmer is here with us today.
Jenn, a self-proclaimed recovering conflict-avoider, has 20+ years of experience leading groups from classrooms and schools to volunteer groups and — hardest of all — herself.
She holds graduate certificates in music education, theology, and leadership along with a Master of Arts in communication and culture from Webster University, extended training in conflict resolution, and certification as an Enneagram coach. She asks big questions that lead to wild dreams and connected ideas and joyful flourish.
We are constantly communicating. Literally all the time. And we are constantly making meaning. Our brains are hard-wired for it.
And yet how many times this week did miscommunication happen? And how much time and angst did it cost?
But communication is more than making sounds into words. Using researched-backs skills, you will learn the power of CLEAN communication served with clear steps, implementation practices, and a side of laughter.
Presentation takeaways:
Describe the cost of miscommunication with qualitative and quantitative data.
Identify the process and purpose of communication (and no, it’s not just sharing information).
Determine the five steps to stop miscommunication before it starts. Keep it CLEAN.
Clarify what steps to take when miscommunication occurs.
Jenn Whitmer helps leaders with Joyosity, creating positive and profitable culture with complex teams. As an international keynote and TEDx speaker and Enneagram specialist, Jenn helps organizations retain employees, increase efficiency, solve conflict, and cultivate communication so that work is a joy, people are whole, and organizations flourish. (Usually, that means a lot of laughter!)
Jenn holds graduate certificates in music education, theology, and leadership, along with a Master of Arts in communication and culture from Webster University and certification as an Enneagram coach. While not-at-all-secretly wanting her life to just be a musical, Jenn lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with her husband, Michael, their four kids, and a surly cat that puts up with them all.
As a speaker, consultant, and Joyosity podcast host, Jenn has stood in front of thousands of people, helping them develop the skills to improve their teams. And she’s ready to help you restore the joy of work, creating a healthy workplace culture that is people-first and purpose-driven.
