45-90 minute keynote Everything around us is changing... and changing fast. In our professional and personal lives, the rate of change is unprecedented. At times, it can be overwhelming. How can we keep up with it all? Rather than focusing on the change, let's learn to master that which does not change. Influence, persuasion, body language, and rapport are the keys to moving others and influencing behaviors... and how to move people has not changed in millennia.
(NOT SO) DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS Interactive Workshop | 90 minutes – Half Day The conversations we avoid are the ones that matter most. This hands-on workshop equips participants with frameworks for navigating high-stakes dialogue - the kind where emotions run high, positions feel fixed, and the relationship is on the line. Participants practice with real scenarios and leave with specific language, reframing tools, and the confidence to say what needs to be said without damaging what matters.
Key Takeaways
- Learn multiple high-yield skills for navigating high-stakes conversations... and actually practice them
- Gain practical tools to build rapport, diffuse tension, and foster constructive outcomes
- Develop a shared language to prevent crucial conversations from becoming difficult
