Both seminars built on an ability to think on your feet and reframe requests and comments into the context of your overall goals. This practice session will start with a summary of the basic content and strategies covered in both seminars and then we will break into small groups to practice through open ended brainstorming, role playing, and discussion. Overall, this event provides a supportive and safe environment in which to explore different communication styles with your peers and learn from one another.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please RSVP to attend the event to amn@mit.edu<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>** While this event was inspired by the 2010 GWAMIT Leadership Conference, any opinions expressed at this event are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of GWAMIT **<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
