About Lunch & Learn

These box lunch seminars, held the second Tuesday of the month, focus on personal and professional development for members of the business community. $10, includes lunch. Please click here for the St. Joseph Area Chamber of Commerce Calendar of Events. There, you will find our monthly events calendar.

Previous topics have included:

Sloppy Communication, Stealth Talking, Emotional Flooding - You'll see what sloppy communication looks like, how it can lead to mistakes and misunderstandings, and ways to clean it up. You'll learn how to unmask "Stealth Talkers," or people so good at disguising their true messages that you never know where they stand. Finally, you'll discover effective ways to deal with emotional flooding that can happen to anyone, any time, especially when you're angry, frustrated, or feel victimized.
Confrontation Phobia, Do Not Disturb, and Tuning Out - You will learn how confrontation phobia can keep some people from saying what's really on their minds and what you can do to help them to open up. You'll see what makes some people hang out a "Do Not Disturb" sign and how you can help them become more approachable. Then, you'll learn how to break the bad habit of tuning out.
"You've Lost Me" - You'll explore your options for solving the universal lament of, "You've lost me." Never again will you have to sit idly by as someone goes off on tangents, spews jargon, or jumps aimlessly from one topic to the next.
Agility Disaster Recovery Seminar - Business as usual no matter what. Learn about business continuity and how to build a Roadmap Disaster Recovery Plan for your business.
