Intellistream strives for continual learning in both its own consultant
community and the business community of which it is a part. In
addition to extensive community involvement, Intellistream organizes
numerous seminars and other learning events, usually focusing upon core business
skills or
emerging technologies.
Relationship Skills for Business Seminar Series
Creating and maintaining a healthy business environment
depends largely on employee interactions. The goal of the
interactive Relationship Skills Series is to explore these daily business
and personal interactions,
reduce stress and anger, aid in the development of a team environment
and to promote increased understanding of oneself and the others around you.
The RSB Seminar Series is slated to begin in mid- to
late-2002. Intellistream invites you to participate in as many modules as
you can; taken as an entire series or separately, each module stands alone
as a highly informative and uniquely introspective experience.
Effective Communication
The art of active listening communicates a powerful message that the speaker is important enough to gain the listener's respect and attention. Employing active listening skills allows people to solve and even prevent many problems as well as guide others to solve problems for themselves. The object is for the listener to communicate in a manner that does not judge the speaker's ideas or feelings but accepts the speaker for what he or she is communicating.
