We all recognize that communicating well is a key skill to being a successful leader – especially in HR. In this session, get the real scoop on how likeability and authenticity have helped two local media icons truly be seen and heard, and how those aspects of communicating apply to you as a leader.  Imagine this: if what you wrote at work and say in meetings were televised each weekday for all to see, would you be perceived as an effective communicator? 

This program will feature KARE 11's:     

Rena Sarigianopoulos is a reporter and anchor at KARE 11. She has won regional Emmys as well as a National Edward R. Murrow Award for hard news reporting in 2012.
