Workplace communication is not always simple.

This workshop will help you communicate your needs in a professional and respectful way.
You will learn how to:
- Ask questions when instructions are unclear
- Request clarification
- Express your needs without oversharing
- Set professional boundaries
- Ask for help or support
- Prepare for a conversation with a supervisor
- Explain your strengths and working style
- Respond when you feel misunderstood
We will provide examples of words and phrases you can use in real workplace conversations.
