What is CIQ?
Communication IQ (CIQ) defines someone’s ability to communicate with people who possess different thought patterns and communication styles.
CIQ provides a series of workshops and 1-on-1 coaching designed to help people become well-rounded communicators in the areas of leadership effectiveness, team dynamics and sales performance.
Communication IQ solves this problem by improving communication skills and team alignment in the workplace.
