The Art of Positive Communication for Development

When:  Feb 20, 2020 from 08:30 AM to 10:15 AM (CT)
This session is an introduction to the art of positive communication for development professionals. It is built on the premise that "the spoken word, spoken honorably and well, can make a difference that no other form of communication can equal." In the talk, I share a simple model to inspire all participants to communicate more positively. With personal examples and stories, the audience will practice concrete behaviors that will have a positive effect at work, at home, and in the community. By the end of the talk, every person in the audience will be able to create their best moments and to connect with others more deeply.

Dr. Julien C. Mirivel is Professor of Applied Communication and Interim Dean of the College of Social Sciences and Communication at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He is “among the founding scholars in the emerging field of positive communication” and an award-winning teacher and scholar. Julien has published in the best journals in the field of communication and is the author of two books on positive communication: The Art of Positive Communication: Theory and Practice and How Communication Scholars Think and Act: A Lifespan Perspective. In the last five years alone, he has delivered hundreds of keynotes, trainings, and workshops on how to communicate effectively across contexts. He is a TEDx speaker whose mission is to inspire individuals and groups to communicate more positively at work and at home. For more information and resources, please visit julienmirivel.com.
