Great exhibitors at #IBPSAFLOW2024!

We are getting ready to kick off #IBPSAFLOW24! Pre-conference programming starts today—can’t wait to see everyone soon!

Communication is more than sending a message. Do we always know how and if that message is received? If we want to ensure that our message reaches the target, we need to understand how communication really works. Hitting the Communication Bullseye takes practice and knowledge of the Platinum Rule (Maxwell) and the Communication Code (Kubiek and Cockram). In his #IBPSAFLOW24 session, “Communication That Hits the Mark!”, @Jerry Hanson—Chief Energy Officer at SuccessBuilders, will take you through a brief DISC assessment to learn your own predictable communication pattern.
