Do you wish you could break through and communicate better with upper management? You aren't alone.

Employees do their best to share their ideas with busy upper managers. But they rarely receive feedback about the interaction. In this workshop, we will simulate interactions with upper management and provide feedback about the interaction.

Behind closed doors, upper managers complain that employees whine about difficult problems: They don't clearly define the problem; they don't state the impact of the problem in business terms; they don't provide actionable recommendations for fixing the problem; and they don't explain why fixing a problem is more important than fixing other problems.

Transform how you propose ideas to upper management so they hear your proposal and act on it rather than hear complaints.
