Description: It is impossible to be a great leader without being a great communicator. It’s that simple, yet, at the same time, that complex.
There are some constants to effective communications that we can learn from great leaders. Drawing on examples from leaders in the political realm – such as Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy – as they endeavored to unite nations or even the business world - such as Stephen Covey and Steve Jobs – as they strategically led their companies, the lessons are myriad.
In this presentation, Ray Barishansky, an EMS and Public Health professional with over 25 years of experience in the field in positions of increasing responsibility, will share the various communication secrets – such as being a great listener, reading a crowd effectively and adapting your messaging to the environment - that leaders have utilized to success.
Learning Objectives:
Describe effective communications for EMS leaders
Demonstrate effective communication techniques
