Join us for this month’s Woman of Wisdom call with Global Chief Operating Officer, Ivette Sanz Osso of Devries Global. Ivette has risen through the ranks at Devries in a Global Client Services and Business Development capacity. On this call, Succeeding Through Collaboration not Competition, we’ll dive into how women can effectively (and quickly) build relationship and trust with clients, coworkers and partners in the workplace.
Collaboration is truly a skillset for the future and women who are skilled in working cross-functionally, inter-departmentally, even globally will be primed for success.
We will cover:
+ Laying the foundation for collaboration
+ Effective ways to build connection and trust
+ Being both intentional and authentic when collaborating
+ What to do when collaboration gets stuck or goes south
+ Using empathy and curiosity as collaboration-building tools
