September Focus: Is Effective Communication in Your DNA or an Acquired Skill?

This month, we are focusing on the skills and processes that you can learn to make you sound like a natural-born communicator.

Meetings that Matter

What’s the secret to planning and conducting successful meetings? The answer may lie in three key elements as outlined in the Interaction Method, a facilitated approach that builds agreement among meeting attendees. Learn more about the Interaction Method and how the AbtLearn course, Mastering Meetings, can help you run shorter, more focused meetings that yield tangible outcomes.

AbtLearn is piloting a Toastmasters Club in the Bethesda office. With nearly 300,000 members, forming 14,000+ clubs, in 122 countries, Toastmasters’ workshops help participants transform their public speaking and leadership skills in a learn-by-doing, low pressure setting. Learn More.

Bold Thinker

Each month, this newsletter features an employee whose dedication to their own development has changed them—and by extension, those who work with them. This month we recognize Judith Bolanzi for her exceptional dedication to the Rosetta Stone language learning program.  Learn more about Judith and how you can use Rosetta Stone

to enhance your language skills or learn to speak a new language.
