Join IABC Nashville and renowned author and TEDx speaker Lily Clayton Hansen for our first “Log In and Lunch” Professional Development Online Lunch and Learn Series. Hansen will discuss the importance of acknowledging the difference oneself between communicating through tools like Zoom, FaceTime, and WhatsApp and having face-to-face conversations. An essential part of being satisfied with virtual communication, and not resenting it, but realizing that it is unique. Hansen will touch on the benefits of communicating virtually so you can make the best out of the situation and use it to your advantage to communicate with colleagues, network, and keep in touch with friends.

Join us on Wednesday, January 23 for a networking and professional development luncheon.

The war against ambiguity and nebulosity in our written communication is not won by correctly placed commas and dutifully agreed subject and verbs. It starts with logic – an adept alignment of audience with message, purpose, and medium.

Michael Deas, Director of Communications and Public Relations for Volkert, Inc., will discuss reclaiming the lost art of logic in language and use real-life examples to show where logical thinking helps make the communication process easier.

See you for lunch on Wednesday, January 23, at Maggiano’s Little Italy, 3106 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203.
