Experience matters—but how you communicate matters more.
Your years of expertise are your greatest asset. The key to unlocking a new role is ensuring your message resonates perfectly with the person sitting across from you. Whether you are speaking to a visionary CEO, a data-driven Department Head, or a process-oriented HR Manager, every interviewer listens through a different lens.
Join 50+ Job Seekers for Adaptive Communications, a high-impact session designed specifically for experienced professionals looking to sharpen their interviewing edge.
What You’ll Discover:
➡️ Identify Your Style: Uncover your own predominant communication style and learn how it influences your storytelling.
➡️ Decode the Interviewer: Learn to identify various communication styles and predict which roles—from technical leads to executive leaders—are most likely to use them.
➡️ Bridge the Gap: Master the technique of “mirroring and adapting” your answers so they land with maximum impact and build immediate rapport.
➡️ The Power of Resonance: Learn to pivot your delivery in real-time to match the listener’s expectations and values.
Don’t just answer the questions—connect with the person asking them.
Turn your decades of experience into your most persuasive pitch yet. Join Myra Quick of Fast Forward Learning and Development and learn how to “read the room”! We look forward to seeing you!
