Monica Wofford, MBA, CSP is an engaging professional speaker who makes a point even in times of humor! CONTAGIOUS CONFIDENCE™ 3 Secrets to Being the Kind of Person Others Want to Be Around Admit it... you talk to yourself, don't you? If you didn't "say" yes outloud, you are probably saying to yourself "I don't know, do I talk to myself?" Finish that conversation and join several others… in your head...that may not be doing you any good. Waking up and saying "ugh" to yourself, leads to you riding your broom into work and that rubs off on others. Monica turns negative neds and nellies into productive colleagues aware of how what we say to ourselves... leads, guides, and determines what we say and do to others.

Contagious Confidence™ affects how you perform at work, how you believe in yourself and how you work with or present to others!

CONTAGIOUS COMMUNICATION™ CORE Concepts for Being Heard, Understood, and Listened To Communication happens, but it is very rarely clear unless you speak in a language that others understand. Explore personality preferences and communication styles, even when under stress, with a profile tool: CORE MAP® (link to CORE Page on the Contagious Coaching section). Monica guides audiences through the humor in our differences and recommends "fascination" over "frustration" for coping with others, as well as recognizing differences versus difficulties. Learn about your style and help others understand you in ways that you always thought they should.
