The Connected Interviewer™


This interactive and experiential one-day workshop gives professionals the tools and skills they need to effectively interview clients and stakeholders - to inform and build alignment around important initiatives and projects - by focusing on getting information from others in a way that achieves interview goals and builds connections between people.

DESCRIPTION

The Connected Interviewer is a highly interactive and experiential, facilitator-led classroom learning experience.  It is designed to provide consultants with a method of communication they can use to powerfully focus on getting information from others in a way that achieves interview goals and builds connections between people.
