CLIENT CASE STUDY
“How to Maintain High-Touch Relationships in High-Tech Times”
Communication has been the bedrock of my business as a speaker for over 20 years. When I had the opportunity to be the closing speaker for the HR Managers Association of Jamaica (HRMAJ) conference in November 2012—Thanksgiving Weekend in the U.S.—my research and conversations with the customer led me to incorporate a fresh perspective into my presentations.HRMAJ asked if I could tailor the title and content of my customary communication keynote. They wanted me to address the new normal of relaying information via text, email and other tech tools in addition to face-to-face.
I welcomed the challenge…then engaged in a ton of research to prepare this updated “Communication 2.0.”
It was so well accepted that I started adding this presentation to my regular portfolio.
“How to Maintain High-Touch Relationships in High-Tech Times” is now my most popular keynote topic.
Companies, conferences and campuses that choose this cutting edge topic are often facing:
- A cross-generational workforce/membership
- Employees attempting to stay connected while working remotely
- Miscommunication due to overuse of tech toys/devices
Please take a look at my client list and client testimonials. See below for an example of content provided in this presentation.
I look forward to collaborating with you! Sarita
