The communication gap is the #1 barrier to organizational effectiveness. How can you break through the gap? By knowing the signals others need us to send. Effective communication can be difficult when two people don’t see eye-to-eye. But with a closer look, you’ll find that it may not be what you’re attempting to communicate, but how you’re communicating it. Join MGIC for this enlightening workshop, as you learn how to: – Work with people of different communication styles in order to maximize effectiveness and minimize conflict and stress – Gain commitment and cooperation – Improve team interaction and effectiveness – Recognize and adapt to the dominant communication styles Hali Plachecki is a Regional Trainer who works for MGIC as a customer trainer, training customers on technical mortgage banking skills as well as soft skills, such as customer service, conflict management, and communication styles.

Hali strives to make the training fun, informative and hopes you leave one of her sessions feeling satisfied about your time spent together. . Hali has over fourteen years experience as an underwriter and a strong background in mortgage operations, spending over half of her career managing processing and underwriting, training and mentoring.
