Exploring Communication Styles

People have different communication styles. To be an effective communicator, we first need to recognize our own style and then learn how to authentically adapt to the styles of others to get your message across by avoiding common communication challenges.

This live, 90-minute interactive Online Skill Builder will be led by a professional WinSETT facilitator and include opportunities for discussion, self-assessment, and experience-based learning from others.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify 4 Communication Styles, including your own
  • Examine some communication stereotypes
  • Adapt your communication approach
  • Build your confidence as a communicator in SETT Workplaces


This Skill Builder is offered as a part of WinSETT’s Collaboration & Teamwork Tune-up Series or can be purchased individually.
