Effective Communication - December 11

Webinar on Effective Communication sponsored by the GIP Subcommittee on Professional Development.

In today’s academic healthcare environment, a key component driving organizational success is effective communication.  Whether you are grappling with mergers and acquisitions, implementing strategic plans, influencing change within your organization, or navigating high-stakes conversations, communicating effectively is an invaluable skill set. 

The webinar will address:  

  • How emotional intelligence impacts the quality of communication 
  • Management of ambiguity by using a solution-focused approach to close the “knowing-doing gap”  
  • How to overcome the “deadly obstacles” often encountered in difficult conversations 
  • Best practices for crafting high-quality messages 

Participants will be asked to share their most daunting communication challenges prior to the webinar. These examples will be incorporated into the webinar as case examples.  

Speaker: R. Kevin Grigsby, MSW, DSW, Senior Director, Member Organizational Development at the Association of American Medical Colleges in Washington, DC.
