Why are Communication Skills for Women Important?
Great communication skills is one of the major keys to a successful working relationship with your colleagues and employees. A study by leaders in partnership revealed that in the workplace, men tend to control the conversation 75% of the time. This shows that effective communication in business is something a lot of women employees or even those in leadership positions seem to struggle with.

Sometimes, women unknowingly exhibit certain behaviors that may undermine their position and expertise in the work environment while communicating. Sabrina aims to show women how to pass the right message at all times through the communication skills training shared in this podcast.
