Ethical Communications Part 3:
Accurate and Tailored Communication
December 16, 2020
6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
|
In Part 1 of our series, Tom Dean's lead off message was that "truth can't be relative" and last month in Part 2, Leigha Kiger took us on a grand tour of using Plain English writing techniques when communicating with your audience. Now in Part 3 of this season's training which focuses on "Ethical Communications", Ms. Lauren Laurie discusses Accurate and Tailored Communication.
What is ethical communication and why is it important? Does it even exist in our digitized world where instant communication is often valued more for its speed and response time than its content or sentiment? How can you trust what you are hearing and are you in fact, an honest communicator or do you just hear and say those things that correspond to your biases?
These are tough questions to answer if you're going to be truthful with yourself but don't worry, we've identified an outstanding slate of 6 speakers this year who just don't talk the talk, they walk the talk. They come from different disciplines and backgrounds and will share with you their insights on ethical communication. We'll be covering such diverse topics as communicating in plain English; advocating for resources and budget increases; how story-telling can be used to address sensitive or taboo topics; building emotional connections with people; and sticking to the facts so as not to mislead.
We plan on concluding our 6 speaker series with an open panel discussion where you will be invited to ask questions of these expert practitioners, but a warning is in order. If you keep an open mind and are honest with yourself, you will probably realize that some, or maybe much of what you've been hearing or saying doesn't fall into what would be considered ethical.
Now, with that warning out of the way, please come join us and let's welcome Lauren as she continues to open our eyes, ears, mind and heart concerning ethical communication.
After this session, you will be able to:
- Realize when your communication is not being received
- Improve breaking down complex topics into understandable language
- Understand your audience
- Encourage action without exaggerating a crisis
- Succeed at communication.
