We conduct intensive seminars that provide our clients with personal insights, inspiration
and up-to-date methodology.  Our seminars are strategically designed to facilitate
personal growth and long-term change and are proven to be highly effective for people
from all sectors of life who want to increase their effectiveness and create positive
outcomes in their lives.

Personality Profiles......
Personality Profiles have been administered to millions of people worldwide and translated
into thousands of languages. While job skills are important, behavior, attitude and
personality play major roles in creating a productive work environment. There is a strong
need for objective data and reliable feedback to help choose the most qualified person for
the job.  Our personality profiles provide proven scientific basis for evaluating current and
future employees and assist you by addressing a wide variety of special needs and
situations. At their core, personality profiles help people understand human differences.

Leadership Development......
Leadership training inspires people to do well in areas of analyzing, empathizing, inspiring,
directing and helping people to find as many opportunities as possible to use these
abilities.  We assist participants as they learn about the strengths that are associated
with their style and explore how these assets have helped them succeed in the past.  
They will also discover how over-using these elements can actually hinder their success.
Participants learn what approaches are most effective when taken into account others
willingness and ability in combination with their style.

In this course participants will learn four different approaches to handling a single situation
in combination with his or her style.  This module shows participants how to read the needs
of others and get the best results possible, to intuitively adapt to the developmental needs
of other people, to reduce tension, conflict and miscommunication when working with
others.  They will also learn how to gauge the kind of direction and input that your
employees respond to best.     

Empathetic Listening......
                    An empathetic listener is one who is,
combining listening and empathy while engaged in a communication.
Ineffective listening is one of the chief causes of poor business practices. Resulting in,
lost customers, lost sales, personnel conflicts, production interruptions, accidents, low
worker morale and uninformed management. All of which translates to lost revenue.
                    
Empathetic Listening is an antidote!
There is a vast difference between hearing and listening.
  • Hearing is primarily a physical activity
  • Listening is primarily a mental activity  
The listening profile identifies five primary listening approaches: Appreciative listening,
Empathetic listening, Comprehensive listening, Discerning listening and Evaluative
listening.  When considering which listening approach is best suited, there are 3 primary
factors to consider: Focus, Motivation and Behavioral Indicators.
This course is designed to help individuals achieve the following:
  • Learn how listening approaches impact listening effectiveness
  • Identify their listening approach
  • Capitalize on their listening strengths
  • Develop a willingness to listen actively and positively
  • Overcome communication barriers
  • Foster a positive listening environment

Sales Training......         

"The selling process takes place in the buyers mind."  
Our responsibility as professionals is to orchestrate and present stimuli in such a way so as
to evoke a positive response from our clients.
 An important step toward becoming
effective at accomplishing this is by developing our ability to accurately read people.
This sales training seminar provides participants an opportunity to:
  • Become experts at reading people.
  • Master highly effective closing techniques.
  • Appropriately handle objections effectively rather than overcoming them.
  • Master the art of defensive persuasion.
  • Develop a commanding presence in any sales situation.
  • Learn what trial closes are and how to apply them on a timely basis.
  • Master the art of effective communication.  
  • Learn how to build on their skills as a "professional conversationalist"
and become what they intended for themselves, a professional salesperson.    

Conflict Resolution......

Employee attitude is increasingly cited as the number one performance-related issue of
companies, both large and small. As attitudes deteriorate, so do commitment, loyalty and
performance. Working with so-called "difficult colleagues" can be one of the biggest
headaches in any organization.  People have an influence over other people.  Their
strengths can be a terrific benefit for the people who work with them and their limitations
can trickle-down to create frustration, confusion or even paralysis in any organization.
People come across as "difficult" because they handle conflict differently than others;
their unique approaches to conflict can often seem counterproductive, confusing or even
bizarre. This course provides participants with simple, direct ways to understand the
different fears that drive much of the conflict and resistance they experience.  Participants
will learn  their style of handling conflict and understand how their style might differ from
others.
