Face to Face - New Date - Inclusion, Diversity and Communication

The Exeter Council are delighted to welcome Jeff in this face to face session.

Session Overview:

Diversity is rightly high on the agenda for many organisations. However, an area that is often overlooked as part of a diversity strategy is the role of internal and external communications.

This session will teach key communication strategies to ensure that, whether it be internal or external communications, you communicate with a wider and more diverse audience and avoid miscommunication or misunderstanding with people who are different to you.

Venue: Kennford Suite, Exeter Court Hotel, Kennford, Exeter, EX6 7UX

Timing: Registration with tea/coffee & bacon rolls at 8:30am, session starts at 9am

Face to face CPD session ends: 10.00pm

Learning objectives:

At the end of the session attendees will:

• Identify key skills for creating more diverse messages in external and internal communications.
• Understand how miscommunications and misunderstandings occur when communication does not take diversity into account.
• Implement a strategy to communicate with a wider and more diverse audience.
