This 60-minute webinar provides a behavioral roadmap for employees who want to re-engage after being ignored without crossing professional boundaries or damaging workplace relationships.

Rather than focusing on emotions alone, this session examines how personality traits, communication styles, and behavioral patterns influence visibility and inclusion at work.

Participants begin by exploring how different personality styles, including DISC traits and introvert versus extrovert tendencies, shape workplace interactions. The webinar highlights how certain strengths such as independence, quiet focus, enthusiasm, or assertiveness can unintentionally contribute to being overlooked if not communicated effectively.

The session helps participants identify whether their natural style may limit visibility and teaches practical adjustments that maintain authenticity while improving engagement. Importantly, this is not about changing personality but about strategically adapting communication in professional environments.

A central component of the webinar is the 5 Cs of Communication: Clear, Concise, Consistent, Credible, and Compassionate. Participants learn how to apply this framework to meetings, emails, conversations, and presentations to re-establish presence and influence. The session emphasizes communicating like a manager focused, purposeful, and aligned with business outcomes.

The webinar also addresses what not to do when being ignored. Participants learn to recognize and avoid toxic responses such as withdrawing, passive-aggressiveness, over-talking, or becoming emotionally draining to colleagues. These behaviors often worsen isolation and erode trust.

Additionally, the session introduces strategies for dealing with difficult people by identifying and avoiding the "12 common difficult behaviors" found in workplace environments. Participants learn how to remain professional, set boundaries, and avoid being pulled into unhealthy interaction cycles.

By the end of the session, attendees will understand how to re-engage with confidence, communicate with clarity, and position themselves as reliable, professional contributors without forcing attention or violating boundaries.

Why should you Attend: This webinar is for professionals ready to create change not just survive exclusion. Participants gain tools to address ignoring behaviors confidently and professionally.

Rather than relying on confrontation or avoidance, attendees learn how to use values, structure, and accountability to drive change.

If you want to rebuild trust, protect your reputation, and contribute to a healthier workplace culture, this session provides the tools to do so effectively and responsibly.
