Alan will present Communication for Connection—a fast-paced, practical session designed to help professionals communicate more effectively with coworkers, customers, and clients. In this one-hour Lunch & Learn, participants will explore three common obstacles that create misunderstandings and tension: reacting reflexively in the moment, personality differences, and lack of clarity. Using simple, real-world tools and engaging discussion over lunch, attendees will learn how to stay grounded under pressure, better understand different communication styles, and express expectations with more clarity and less drama. Participants will leave with immediately usable strategies to strengthen relationships, reduce friction, and create more productive conversations at work.
