Leader's notes

Communication skills are important in all areas of our lives. In a remote environment, during a high stakes or high stress activity, and especially during an emergency, knowing how to communicate can be critical. In this virtual session, we will review several key elements of communicating within your team, with emergency responders, and with individuals experiencing an emotional or traumatic event.

This virtual workshop is designed to complement “Remote Crisis De-escalation.” While neither is a prerequisite to the other, participants are encouraged to attend both sessions.

Seminar Notes

This presentation will encourage attendees to participate via meeting chat, opportunities for Q&A throughout, and at least one breakout session.
