Women in Tech Roundtable: Conscious Interoffice Communication

We are excited to invite the ATC Community to in-person events! Please note that we are doing everything we can to make sure our community is safe and healthy. We will always put your health first. With that in mind, we will abide by board-approved in-person event policies listed below. You may also download a plain PDF version here. We can't wait to see you in-person again soon!

Conscious interoffice communication is more important than ever. Are you able to you rein in your own emotions before and while speaking to others? Do you know how to adjust your message to match your audience? Do you know the personality styles of your peers, direct reports and your leader? Are you able to lead a conversation about social injustice without loosing control?

However, while mindfulness is receiving a lot of press, an expansion of the working from home environment has also made conscious communication more challenging. 

• Do you give others your undivided attention? Or do you multitask when others are speaking?
• Do you turn off your video feed, depriving others of non-verbal clues?
• Have you recorded yourself and examined your motions from the viewer’s perspective?

Join us to learn the basics of mindful communication and how to make adjustments for a WFH world.
