Communication 1 Being an accomplished listener |
Clarify and Summarise | Listening is by far and away the most important communication skill yet relatively few people choose to learn how to do it well. This Intensive allows you to swiftly diagnose the barriers you have to listening and adopt one key technique that proves to anyone that has talked to you that you can and have accurately listened. You may not know but the only way that anyone will ever know if you have truly listened is if you can accurately clarify and summarise their speech. Can you? Try this Intensive and test how accurate your summaries are! |

Communication 2 Creating instant rapport with anyone |
The Match and the Mirror |

This Intensive provides you with a practical and ridiculously simple routine to increase your ability to build rapport with people anywhere and at any time!

Communication 3 Preparing to speak in public |
Big Breaths | For many the act of public speaking carries with it considerable fear. The key is to channel the adrenalin, get into ‘state’ and walk on stage confident, poised and full of power and energy! The reason people sometimes suffer is because they imagine in their own mind that something bad will happen when they speak in public. This internal representation becomes so real that it takes over from reality. Big Breaths teaches you how to change what you think about so that you end up looking forward to any opportunity to speak in public. |
| 7 | Managing yourself and others through a period of considerable change | The Change Curve |
In periods of change, chaos and uncertainty it is crucial to manage your emotions. Knowing what unwanted emotions you may be experiencing and what to do to prevent them is essential. The Change Curve demonstrates in detail how people respond to change. It is perfect to use in one-to-ones with people who are either resisting or struggling to ‘move on’.

| 8 | Running an outstanding meeting | POP! | The keys to running any meeting are a) knowing why it is being held, b) what the predicted outcomes are and c) what meeting processes are required to deliver the desired result. The application of POP in organisations has been proven to collapse the average length of meetings by 50% whilst dramatically improving the volume and quality of the outcomes and results. It is based on extensive research yet a wonderfully simple approach to adopt to deliver more from your meetings in a fraction of the time it used to! |
| 9 | Preparing to write a report or deliver a presentation | Plunder your mind! |
You have a report to write, a letter to compose or a presentation to prepare for. How do you start? Many people just dive straight and begin to write. However the most efficient way to prepare is to initially ‘plunder your mind’ without any self-imposed restrictions and initially dump all your thoughts down into what might look like a creative mess. Then swiftly organise your pictorial representation of your mind into a logical order that will make sense to the reader/listener. Plunder your mind makes preparation fast, fun and effortless! |
| 10 | Making an outbound telephone call to someone you have never met | Making a promise |
Making outbound calls or ‘Cold Calling’ as it often called is considered by many salespeople their least favourite activity. We have studied and practiced the fastest way build rapport within seconds with a new prospect which involves a few carefully selected professional words and phrases. It is much easier to speak to the people you want to speak to when you make a promise to a warm customer! |
