The CONVERSATIONS ABOUT NUMBERS workshop is for you if you need to clarify or repeat numerical expressions, and are unconfident about whether you are expressing numbers accurately. This workshop is NOT 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10! This fast-paced review focuses on busines numerical expressions at the sound production, as well as rhythm and stress levels.

Do you find yourself repeating numerical expressions? – that costs time, and time is money. Has there been an error due to a miscommunication about numbers? – errors cost money. Do you hesitate to contribute your ideas that may improve productivity and profitability because you feel unable to interrupt a conversation with a quick alternative perspective on “the numbers.” How accurate, clear, and confident are you in conversations in which you are expressing NUMBERS? Do you feel 1) you need to improve, 2) you may not be perfectly accurate, but people understand you, or 3) you are accurate, clear, and confident in expressing a wide variety of numerical expressions, and you never need to repeat them. If you are a 3, great – you don’t need this workshop. However, if you are a 1 or even a 2, your inability to lead and participate in complex, fast moving discussions around the boardroom table about business goals and achievements will hold you back on the leadership track. 

This workshop is one hour – in one hour you can cross business and technical numerical expressions off your list as a barrier to advancing on the leadership track!
