If you’d like to offer a Chamber discount, just email it to info@parkridgechamber.org and Marci/Cindy will post it on our website for you at no extra charge!

"That's not what I said"… Building better communications in the workplace and beyond.
How often have you had the experience of speaking with someone and having your words or message twisted and the meaning misunderstood or lost altogether. Clean communication is critical in all relationships and we will discuss some of the reasons communication becomes garbled and offer suggestions of how to facilitate more effective conversations.
