We are very excited to welcome back one of our most popular speakers from the ISSA’s 2014 calendar!  Tavia Bowers received rave reviews last year from participants in her “Challenging Conversations” workshop.

Whether you are in sales, recruiting or management, your personal interaction with people is your signature. Your success depends on heartfelt and genuine connection with others. This session will help you make those connecting moments both meaningful and productive for you and your client, candidate or colleague.

You may find yourself making formal presentations or holding one-on-one meetings with other professionals.  Your preparation, listening skills and clear idea of what you are trying to communicate and accomplish are keys to an effective interaction.

With over 18 years of corporate training experience, Tavia Bowers is an expert at presenting business information in a way that informs, inspires and engages her audience.  In this interactive session, she will share techniques and approaches to help you strengthen the power of your connections and the effectiveness of your message.  As a business professional, you will learn how to prepare for important meetings, presentations and conversations so that you bring the most value to your audience.

Tavia prides herself on her ability to connect with and engage an audience while making them comfortable during their time together. Her passion for training translates to an important request she makes of all workshop participants: Have fun while learning!

Tavia holds a Bachelor’s Degree in English from Xavier University of Louisiana, calling the city of New Orleans her second home. She is a Certified Life Coach, a Certified Fierce Conversations® Trainer, and a graduate of the National Speakers Association’s Speaker University. Along with being a marathon finisher, Tavia has several hobbies, but none more gratifying than being the wife of Tony and the mom to her son Trent and daughter Tate.
