Talking to You?
Do you feel left out in meetings when the executives are talking about last night’s game?
Do you wish the men and women on your team would work better together?
Do you feel if you had more in common with your co-workers, you’d work better together?
Do you hate small talk, but know it’s important to build rapport?
Upping Your Game, Improving Your Business
Sports broadcaster, Jen Mueller, discovered a way to solve all those problems. In 2009, she was approached by a group of successful, high-powered women who recognized they were missing out on valuable business opportunities.
The women were watching their male colleagues entertain clients at sporting events, but they weren’t attending the games themselves. A failure to get in the game was limiting their opportunities to advance and succeed.
Jen swiftly moved into action and developed a process to get those women, and all business professionals, up to speed on hot sports topics. The results – increased confidence around their male colleagues and increased business opportunities with clients.
While it was a group of women that led to Jen’s pioneering message, her conversation planning process helps both men and women:
- Bridge the gap between men and women in the workplace.
- Discover the value of sports conversations as a way to build business.
- Cultivate a more productive and efficient workplace.
- Improve communication skills in a way that leads to a more individual success within a group dynamic.
