DANBURY, CONN. <\/strong>\u2014 From mastering a professional greeting to asking questions and managing expectations in the workplace, Western Connecticut State University<\/a> will hold a workshop offering strategies to excel on the job. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At 7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015,<\/strong> the Ancell School of Business<\/a> Women in Business Society will present \u201cCommunicate for Success,\u201d a workshop led by Nicole Weber, an executive coach, corporate trainer and expert on helping people achieve developmental goals and realize their full potential. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the President\u2019s Reception Room 218 of the university\u2019s Classroom Building on the Westside campus, 43 Lake Ave. Extension in Danbury. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The workshop will be based on the book \u201cGreat on the Job: What to Say, How to Say it. The Secrets of Getting Ahead<\/a>,\u201d written by communication expert Jodi Glickman<\/a>. Weber has partnered with Glickman to present lectures and workshops using the \u201cGreat on the Job\u201d strategies. According to the book\u2019s website, \u201cGreat on the Job\u201d takes the art of communicating effectively and turns it into a science. Part of this includes a proven methodology that looks at case studies and applies practical strategies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During the event, Weber will role play with the audience and oversee them as they break into groups. Other strategies will include learning to raise a red flag at work, ask for help and share information effectively.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Weber has held senior human resource positions as well as business roles through her career at Bloomberg, Merrill Lynch, McKinsey and Goldman Sachs. She holds an MBA from the Johnson School at Cornell University. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
