Speaker: Joel Freeman Studies have shown that 15% of financial and career success can be attributed to technical competence, while 85% is due to good interpersonal skills. We all are different. Some of us are thinkers, others are doers, some are passive, and still others are aggressive. Most people come to work or enter a relationship with pretty good intentions, but we get on each other's nerves just by being ourselves. In this presentation, Joel Freeman will focus upon the 85% aspects of work and home. Born in Maine (1954) and raised in a small town in Alberta, CA, Joel A. Freeman brings a rich reservoir of personal experience blended with contagious enthusiasm, clarity and down to earth humor to empower people from diverse walks of life with improved communication skills and maximized productivity.
