Join the Nonprofit Leadership Center of Tampa Bay for this FREE session as we explore the what, why and how of this emerging field, social entrepreneurship.

Executive Forum: Cultural Diversity in Communications

Have you ever walked away from a conversation and felt like there was more going on than what was said? As our daily interactions become more diverse, the opportunity for misunderstandings increases. Our first inclination is to assume there is a language barrier, but more than likely the breakdown occurs at the non-verbal level. In every social encounter, nearly two-thirds of the meaning in the interaction is converyed in non-verbal ways. At that point, what is said is not as important as how it is said. Executive Directors/CEOs are welcome to join us for this fun, interactive overview of cultural diversity in communication. We'll examine the difference in non-verbal communication styles across cultures and identify the four most common areas of your own level of comfort in simple interactions, and see firsthand how you may be misperceived.

Note: Executive Forums are held exclusively for nonprofit Executive Directors/CEOs. To register, call the office at (813) 287-8779 to request your invitation.

Date and Time

November 14, 2007; 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
