May Education Series

NonVerbal Communication with Lindsey Day

May 23, 2013
11:30am to 1:00pm
University of Denver | Map

Communication has and always will be an important skill for young professionals; however, when we practice communication, we generally focus solely on speaking ability.  Experts estimate that 94% of the meaning we derive from communication comes from our non-verbal communication yet we rarely study or practice this skill.

Come to this month’s MHYP education event and career coach Lindsey Day will teach you strategies to:

  • Assess your current non-verbal communication patterns
  • Improve your ability to connect with professional colleagues
  • Minimize miscommunication between “what you say” and “how you say it”

If you are a looking to close more sales, land more job offers or simply be more comfortable at networking events, this education is for you.

Location

University of Denver
University Hall Room 306 | DU Map

Schedule

11:30am-Noon: Registration, networking and lunch
Noon-12:45pm: Presentation
12:45pm-1:00pm: Q&A, networking

MHYP Table of Ten Recap

MHYP's Table of Ten Series recently featured Andrea Constantine, an author of numerous books on community and connecting people (more information is available at http://andreacostantine.com/andrea-costantine-resources).

We had a deep conversation on treating others as humans, no matter what they look like or their life circumstances, what would we like to change about the world, and the importance of connecting and conversing with strangers.  

Some of the key takeaways were: 

·Make a point to look everyone in the eye and smile to people that you normally wouldn’t, such as the person checking you out at the grocery store, or the homeless.  You have the power to change their day and make them happier, and the ripple effect can be endless.

·Everyone must feel like they belong to their community, without a sense of belonging things like crime, substance abuse, dropout rates and other senseless activities climb.

·Everyone in the community matters, so treat them that way.  The more connected a community is the more happy it can be.
 
It was a powerful lunch, but if you missed it be ready to register next month to have lunch with John Levisay, more information is available at http://milehighyp.com/events/details/june-table-of-ten-2013.
