"COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR SUPPLY CHAIN PROFESSIONALS"

     by

Wayne Serbera

Communication skills are one of the most important keys to success in almost all endeavors in our lives.  Successful Supply Chain Managers always are good communicators.  You might remember that the loss of the British to the Russians in the famous “Charge of The Light Brigade” was entirely the cause of miscommunication.


Our speaker will cover this subject in depth.  His presentation “Communication Skills for the Supply Chain Professional” explains the success principles of effective communications in the services and product development business.  Look at the humor, the drama, and the all-around effectiveness of communications skills in accomplishing your objectives.

Don’t miss this special presentation which will allow you to leave with some new and important tools for success in your business life.
