Marketing Maven Leaders Host Business Communication Workshop for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles CHAMP Interns

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 28, 2013

Marketing Maven CEO, Lindsey Carnett, and Human Resources Generalist, Elicia Hildreth, hosted a workshop titled “Business Communication 101” on May 7, 2013 engaging Careers in Health and Mentorship Program (CHAMP) interns with professional development skills.

This workshop is the second held by Marketing Maven in collaboration with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles youth development programs. The CHAMP initiative centers on helping college students pursuing a non-clinical career in health care. As the demand in non-clinical careers increases, CHAMP aims to help young adults in Los Angeles develop critical skills for entry-level development.

“We value CHAMP’s commitment to help students learn about leadership through self-development,” said Carnett. “Becoming an entrepreneur was pivotal to broadening my professional development. Our business communication workshop is meant to challenge students and help them continue to challenge themselves to be well-rounded professionals.”

During the “Business Communication 101” workshop, Carnett defined business communication and how it relates to internal communication including subsets of web-based, non-verbal, and email communication. Carnett helped CHAMP interns reflect on their career goals by asking them to define how they define professionalism in their own lives and what they considered to be their niche or area of expertise.

Carnett also helped CHAMP interns understand the nuances of social media in a work environment by introducing them to social media policies. Hildreth provided an outline of how to arrive prepared for an interview and how to communicate appropriately to reflect a professional demeanor and a well-organized resume.

Business communication involves impromptu speaking; Carnett and Hildreth connected public speaking skills with business communication by interacting CHAMP interns in a debate surrounding multiple controversial topics. They also highlighted the importance of body language by practicing firm handshakes and mock interviews.

As seen in the Forbes Most Powerful Woman Business Leader issue, Carnett has taken her business expertise globally, enlightening her marketing peers and those new to the industry about accountable publicity and positive online reputation. Having spoken at Electronic Retailing Association D2C, California Polytechnic University, and at the Electronic Retailing Association’s Great Ideas Summit, Carnett has gained the reputation as an expert in the field of marketing and public relations.

Hildreth’s human resources experience, along with her Board of Directors position for the non-profit organization, Women of Substance & Men of Honor, Inc., provides her with the tools and experience for business development and communication.
