Communication Skills Training
Most communications we partake in are reflexive — like breathing. We talk to our spouses, kids and friends without giving much thought to how we’re doing it.
In work and Life, nothing is more powerful than effective communication skills…
It might seem easy, but communicating effectively actually takes quite a bit of finesse. We are not talking about choosing the right words, we are talking listening with our minds instead of just our ears, and understanding the emotional landscape of our audience and relating to it. Getting our message across is a skill that we all need, so why leave it to chance?
At home and in social settings, miscommunication can lead to arguments or worst, disconnect. In the workplace, the repercussions can be lead to decreased productivity, stress, missed work, attrition, unmotivated employees — even lawsuits — can result from communication breakdowns at the office.
As a leader, poor communication is detrimental in gaining momentum, influence and credibility.

Communication with the Goal of Conflict Resolution
You already know that individuals with excellent interpersonal skills are the ones that rise to the top of their careers and live more fulfilling lives.
Research has shown that neither intelligence, nor income, nor academic background has been linked directly to success. In other words, if you take two people with the same level of all of the above, but one with stronger Emotional Intelligence, the latter always gets ahead faster and goes further. The good news is that Emotional Intelligence unlike general IQ can be learned!
Many of the top professionals who come across as naturals at the art of relating to others, are in actuality trained professionals who have mastered the ability to understand their emotions and the emotions of others and are best able to connect powerfully with others. The ability to build effective professional relationships, to strike up an instant rapport, to communicate with tact, and to make a memorable impression are techniques that can be learned and solidified with time.
No other skill set is as crucial to your professional or personal success! Ready to make progress? Get started today!
Essentials of the Art and Science of Dynamic Public Speaking
Whoever said they are a natural at public speaking, were telling untruths. Between facts, data, tact, connecting with audience, memory, body language, technology, and audience issues, it takes a skilled and trained individual to be able to deliver a flawless product. But, a flawless product you need, in order to be able to “sell” your thoughts and ideas and to make the inevitable response happen. What is the inevitable response? Making others take action. That’s right. No matter what your position, rank or status, when you get in front of an audience, you are there because you are an agent of change. You are there to make others take action.
Many business people race through their careers unscathed by the negative effects of less than perfect public speaking. Or so they think! Occasional “Ums,” “ahs,” “likes” all the way to didactic, lecture type speaking that leaves an audience more tired than they came in, may seem insignificant, but on the reverse, whenever you see a successful, and influential figure-head who walks into a room demanding attention, power and fellowship, you are wise to assume that they are trained at the Art and Science of Dynamic public speaking.
This program is designed to provide you with skills to connect with your audience within the first 5 minutes of appearing, providing you with the hands-on tools to be eloquent in getting your point(s) across clearly and quickly, exude confidence, calm and coolness (both senses of the word) and to be tactful and practical in igniting questions within the audience and responses you provide. From an audience of a handful, to an audience of a 100 to an auditorium full, we can help you gain the most crucial skills you will need to ace the presentation.
Instead of feeling like besides the research, and fact checking you have a mountain ahead, have the power of a trusted advisor on your side, who can consult, direct, and test through your presentation for all the nuances. Ready to make progress? Get started today!
Communication Savvy with Emotional Intelligence
Chances are you have at some point during your career, been in a situation where you “lost it”. Whether you got angry, burst in to tears, yelled, said something you regretted, or said nothing and later got mad at yourself because you didn’t, the outcomes were not to your liking.
The truth is stress is a given, and circumstances are not always ideal. As a professional handling situations carefully and with skill doesn’t come naturally.
We have developed this phenomenal program specifically to arm you with the skills you need to maintain emotional control at work and to manage the emotions of others. Often times, corporate teaches us that expression of feelings is the way to go. But building emotional connections to co-workers and decision-makers will not be possible without the expression of feelings. On the other hand, the perfect response to emotionally charged situations is what brings positive results and not every form of emotional expression.
During this program you will be trained to discover which emotions could be holding back your career, which ones stress you out most, and how to harness them, so they won’t sabotage your career.
You will master step-by-step how to’s for dealing with typical workplace situations, like when a co-worker bullies you, pushes your hot buttons, or when you are unfairly treated, period.
The program will not change the circumstances, but will empower you to turn those circumstances and intense emotions into positive energy. This is guaranteed to give you better results in every exchange with others.
