Dr. Thomas Spiglanin has been helping people be more effective in the workplace and in business for more than thirty years. As a teleworker himself, he understands how effective communication, collaboration, and other interpersonal skills underpin success in an environment where coworkers, managers, and leaders never see workers who are not physically present in the workplace.

Working predominantly with professional (and often technical) staff for over thirty years, he saw first hand the value of effective communication and other interpersonal skills. When an individual reaches the pinnacle of their technical career, Tom knows what usually limits further growth is being able to communicate complex concepts in ways that others can understand and make sense of.

As digital media including email, instant messaging, social media, and both audio and video technologies enable distanced business communication, Tom sees a steady decline in the very interpersonal skills needed to be effective using those tools.

At best, the skill deficit adds tension in the modern workplace. At its worst, it results in a complete breakdown in communication, fostering mistrust and destroying efficiency. Communication has always been key to business success, but it has become even more important in this digital era.

People need help. They need re-learn how to communicate effectively in the digitally heterogeneous workplace. They need to choose the right medium for their message, and do so instinctively. They need to use each communication channel for what it does best and to move seamlessly across vast choices for maximum effectiveness. This is where Ansera comes in, with solutions to these and other challenges.
