The framework then guides the group through a natural decision-making process to come together for collective action. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nHuman Understanding and Engagement (HUE™) principles for leading conversations and meetings\nDiscover how humans are different and similar in their thinking\, communication\, and decision-making preferences\nLearn tips and techniques to engage different styles of thinking within a group\nDevelop confidence in applying the HUE™ Conversation Method\n\nWho should attend? \nProfessionals who want to transform their communication and engagement strategies to achieve business goals\, increase employee engagement\, and grow as leaders – including project managers\, planners\, team leaders\, supervisors\, and consultants.
