Participants will be asked in advance to consider a difficult situation at work. We will discuss how each of these tools can support prevention/solutions for communication challenges.
Participants will also be asked to complete a simple behavioral styles assessment. (Know yourself so you can understand others.)
Expect to learn about:
Audience Engagement
- Understand research about eye contact and other key physical skills and how to leverage them effectively.
- Learn how to make simple changes in delivery that can keep audiences engaged and connected.
- Practice eye contact in a breakout activity.
Getting the audience to talk
- Uncover the power of a dialogue opener.
- Learn how to create a joint agenda.
- Be introduced to a simple roadmap that changes the dialogue before it even begins.
Understanding your audience
- Discover 4 main behavioral styles.
- Learn how to understand your audience and use the tools above to successfully communicate with others (especially those whose style is different from your own).
- Assess someone’s style and learn how to adjust your own style to theirs in real time.
Managing resistance and objections
- Discuss how and why we should ask powerful questions.
- Practice handling objections with less conflict and emotion.
- Discover a tool that helps create avenues for agreement.
