Description:
There is a critical link between company vision and a leader's ability to powerfully communicate its essence. Effective leadership requires not only sound strategy, but language that conveys importance, urgency and understanding. Primary among the key leadership skills demanded today is the ability to craft and articulate a message that is highly motivational and inclusive.
Too often organizations focus their communications resources externally, and ignore or under serve their own employees, customers and quite often family. When employees and other valued stakeholders hear new developments via the press or the grapevine, credibility and loyalty suffer. As an effective communicator, you establish yourself as a leader at many levels, reduce unnecessary conflict both externally and internally, and you create positive direction.

Notice to Trainees
WHY WE NEED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Act 192 of the 2008 Vermont Legislature requires employers and other training providers receiving support from the state to provide the social security number of each individual participating in the training to the department of state government supporting the training. The social security number will be used to gather wage information from the Department of Labor's files after you complete training, in order to evaluate the training program.
The Departments of Labor and Economic Development must provide information on the employment outcomes of training programs to the Legislature. Your information will be combined with information of other trainees to ensure your privacy and the privacy of your employer. The law requires the departments to keep your information confidential.
