DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING with all the signals you're sending, even without saying a word?

ARE YOU AWARE of how the way you sit, stand, move, dress, speak and listen all send their own messages?

Everyone of us almost every day interacts in some way with other people through conversation, reading and writing emails, letters or text messages, watching TV, or presenting to other people (or being presented to). And even when we’re not actively engaged, there’s the world of more passive communication; they way we and others dress, the language of our posture, gesture and facial expression, even our environment speaks in subtle ways that affect our perceptions and colour our dealings with others.

But have you ever wondered what makes the difference between an average interaction between people, whether one-to-one or a whole group, and an excellent one? And what is it that those people who are excellent communicators, those who seem to hold the interest of whomever they’re talking with so well, do that other people are missing? Why is it that you seem to connect with some people easily and quickly and others take time and effort?

Wouldn’t it be great if ALL your interactions could be excellent ones, if you knew how to hold someone’s attention, if you knew how to connect with people more easily and quickly, and if you could be sure they'd remember you long afterwards too? If you're not convinced yet that this is a real possibility, then take a look at just a few of the positive comments made by delegates on the West-Midlands NHS Leadership Programme when we ran their 'communication skills' module for the last two cohorts - click here.

Think for a moment about the kinds of business interactions where being an excellent communicator is a major key to success:

» sales & marketing

» keynote speaking

» proposal writing

» court proceedings

» leading & managing

» disciplinary hearings

» telesales

» brand development

» negotiating

» influencing

» customer service

» facilitation

» interviewing

» networking

» teaching & lecturing

» decision-making

... and I'm sure you can think of many more too.

On a more personal level, there are areas of special relevance, such as:

» social confidence

» dating

» relationships

» parenting

Whatever the issue or solution you're looking for, we'll work with you to move you from where you are now to where you want to be.

After you've worked with us you'll be able to:

  • make connections with other people more rapidly and meaningfully than before (and know when they don’t want to connect with you!)

  • understand the signs and signals that tell you whether a conversation is going well or not.

  • make use of ALL the components of communication, including voice, facial expression, posture & gesture, to understand and be understood.

  • create the right mental and emotional state in your conversations using language and tone of voice.

  • know how to plan in advance for successful communicating.

  • understand how our own assumptions can either support or sabotage your success.

  • know from first-hand personal experience the real difference these tools and techniques can make.

We do this within either a coaching, consulting or a training framework (or a combination if it's appropriate) and guarantee to make a positive and definite difference.

We can promise this because of our expertise in three key areas:

  • how the brain works when we take in, process, store and recall information - the fundamentals of brain-friendly & accelerated learning.

  • how we use language and other signals (verbal and non-verbal) to build a totally coherent whole so we can interact with others in the best possible way - all based on NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), cognitive and behavioural psychology, and even hypnosis!

  • how people differ in what they bring to and need from any interaction and how to notice and account for those differences in really powerful and constructive ways - based on NLP and on personality typing using the Myers-Briggs model.

"Talk may be cheap, but its effects can either be priceless or very costly; with it you can break a heart or mend it, move a nation to war or make peace, change the stubbornest of minds, raise anger or bring calm to a situation, teach a child to hate or to love, to despise difference or to appreciate diversity. In short, talk is the seed of action. It's how we begin to change the world."
