Young Workforce Training: Communication Specialist Jodee Blanco

Young professionals working together at a conference table

Clients often ask me to help them train their younger workforce on communications etiquette and the importance of building relationships through best practices.

I have an intuitive connection with today’s younger workforce, many of whom were exposed to my memoir in middle or high school or who heard me speak. I understand how Millennials and GenZ think, what drives them and how to harness it. I help these up and coming leaders who grew up on social media apps and text messaging to reach beyond their digital comfort zones and communicate on a more interpersonal level. I provide them the tools and confidence to cultivate those skills.

They include:

The human component of being a good communicator
Understanding body language, eye-contact, tone and other non-verbal cues
What it means to be a pro-active communicator and why it’s important
How to identify and develop your communication strengths
How to have a face-to-face conversation that facilitates understanding and motivates action
The secret to an effective email
Understanding how and why courtesy matters
Knowing when and when not to use AI for communication help and why
A litmus test for knowing if it’s better to meet, call, email or text
How to listen
The 3-step method for how to respond instead of react
How to disagree gracefully
Among other communications-centric skills.
