Paul J. Meyer, founder of Success Motivation Institute, once noted that communication is the key to personnel and career success. Communication is indeed a vital skill one needs to be successful in the workplace, including in the field of procurement. Procurement professionals who understand how to communicate effectively are better equipped to manage projects with multiple stakeholders, negotiate contract terms and conditions, and achieve procurement goals that benefit the agency and the public. In this session, various communication topics will be covered to help you become a better communicator, including how to resolve conflict effectively, speak confidently in front of an audience, listen actively to others, reduce your speech anxiety, and engage in meaningful nonverbal communication.
