Human relations and personal development coach Derek Brewer kicked things off on Tuesday, April 6 with “Talking During Tough Times”. You can view the virtual event here.

After the last year we’ve all had, there probably isn’t anyone who can’t recall at least one occasion when their communications skills weren’t thwarted by the extraneous weight of what was going on in the world around them. Whether on a client zoom call, a condo board meeting or just relating to loved ones at home, dialogue can often devolve into a messy affair. We joined human relations and personal development coach Derek Brewer on Tuesday, April 6 as he kicked off SOAR’s new Speaker Series with “Talking During Tough Times.” An expert in person-to-person communications, Derek went through the paces of what it takes to become a master communicator; including anticipating potential problems, setting a game plan and employing the right tools to overcome these challenges—especially during complicated times like we’re living through currently. 

SOAR’s Speaker Series: Conversations is a virtual, four-part series of interactive conversations led by fascinating people in the Streeterville community and geared toward addressing topics that are important to SOAR members today. Future sessions will feature discussions with prominent speakers in the legal, medical and arts worlds.
