Effectively Frank™: Authentic Communication Strategies for Women Entrepreneurs

Event Phone: 207-535-2914

In this 90 minute workshop you will learn the keys to being Effectively Frank™: how to more successfully and confidently communicate in the business setting.  You’ll leave with skills you can use immediately and learn how to be seen as kind and competent- even when you speak your mind.   These tools will help you grow your business, and feel good about doing it. Topics covered include:

  • Getting past the fear of “selling yourself” (even when you want to go and hide)
  • Strengthening your voice (even when you don’t feel so strong)
  • Managing conflict (even when it scares you to death)
  • How and why to ask for help (even when perfectionism gets in the way)

The workshop [guaranteed to be fun, not scary!] will be presented by Hannah Curtis, LCSW.   Hannah is a Women’s Business Center client, and the founder of New Approaches. She believes that emotional wellness is the key to happiness, and her approach blends innovative problem-solving with common sense solutions.   Clients describe her as warm, insightful, and non-judgmental.
