I want to share with you a recent experience working with Jessica LoRusso, author of Be Believable, How to Build a Credible Business. Jessica was a presenter for a recent Professional Development Day held in Winnipeg this past spring. Her topic was Civility and how it impacts our day to day productivity. As a speaker Jessica is dynamic and personable, a person who engages her audience in her material. I believe we each took from that day ideas and suggestions that we can use to better interact with our clients, our friends and families as well. I learned that I can improve on my listening skills and pay attention to not only what is being said but other “cues” that people share. It turns out that developing civility at work increases staff productivity by as much as 80%. Having worked in offices with long hours and demanding deadlines, it is apparent how these things could take their toll on staff and management alike. That combined with mental health issues being a source of disability claims this presentation was timely. I would highly recommend Jessica for any public speaking events that delve into the psychology of group dynamics.
