Forty percent of time at work is spent persuading, influencing, and convincing others.  Poor communication leads to less innovation, causes a drop in morale, and a loss of credibility that costs businesses millions of dollars annually.

Strong, competent communicators gain greater visibility and are offered more leadership opportunities and career advancement.  The better equipped you are to navigate meetings, contribute effectively, and handle challenging conversations, the more influential you will be in your role and in future endeavors.
