Speaking and Seminar Topics

Listening:
• Be Heard: Stop the Communication Ping-Pong Game!
  Is what you heard what they said and is what they said what they (really) meant? Learn an approach that enables you to make the most of the time you have with someone even if it feels to you or to them that it's not enough time. Explore the nearly lost art of listening. (Participants leave with skills they can use immediately whether with the CEO, an employee, a patient, a colleague, a relative, or a customer.)
Healing Conversations: It's Never Too Late
• Learning how to ask for or offer the comfort that's needed, especially when words fail during those times when you (or they) need them the most. (Audience gets to practice skills applied to their real world situations especially for conversations that we most often avoid or where we're at a loss for words with friends, family, and colleagues.)
Relationship Management:
• How Not to Strip the Gears
  How do you get relationships with customers, staff, colleagues, or family into 5th gear without stripping the gears? How can you compete successfully in a world where none of us has enough time? Race car analogies get audiences out of their seats. (Audience learns how to drive relationship building conversations.)
Competition:
• The Power of Pause® Approach
  In a "Just Do It" world of multi-tasking, how do we learn to understand the real problem (or opportunity) that lies beneath the surface of what someone said? How do we shift gears to learn what's on their plate, let alone ours? Underwater analogies demonstrate the difference between communication radar and communication sonar. (Participants learn how to have more productive, meaningful relationships at work or at home.)

  How to launch a breakthrough in your company, career, or your life while you are at this conference and when you return to work or home.
