Our oral and written language evolves during our childhood, education and exposure to a wide variety of environments and influences.  We learn the words to teach, to persuade, to argue, to amuse, yet rarely do we have opportunities to learn how to use the actual words for maximum and accurate impact.  Individuals can now participate in this workshop or during individual coaching sessions and learn to easily apply effective spoken and written communication methods and techniques to develop and enhance existing skills.

The impact of increasing the effectiveness of communication can be far reaching in any role or situation where participants wish to have the insight to most accurately target their communications, reduce resistance, gain the most out of available resources, encourage compliance and maximise positive rapport.  Imagine having the knowledge and skills to present a talk which reaches each member of staff in a way that is most absorbable for each individual. Consider how negotiations with managers could be made smoother. Even wonder how a report to the boardroom can be understood, regardless of the topic.  These methods and techniques have wide applications every day.

This innovative workshop will give participants the knowledge and understanding to take them on a personal and professional development journey towards maximizing the impact and appreciation of their communications in each situation and environment.  Participants with discover the advantages, benefits and applications of directional and positive language to enhance and maximize excellence in oral and written communications when working with people.

Highly participative, this workshop blends presentations with activities exploring the material being introduced, resulting in participants developing skills in the application of the techniques being introduced, together with an understanding of how they can implement the techniques in own practice. Additional and supporting material is presented in handouts.

Participants will gain awareness of their own use of language and an understanding of how they can use often simple directional language phrases to maximize their effectiveness during communications.  Participants will also achieve an appreciation of the use and impact of multiple modality positive language and its influence upon written and oral communications.

This programme can be taught in groups and on an individual basis.  It can also be presented as a conference topic.
