Team Building and Communication
For any team to successfully work together, it's crucial to be able to communicate in the most effective way. In a workplace that consists of many personalities, you won't always see eye-to-eye or think the same way so it's imperative that you learn how to use each other's differences as strengths. Strengthening a team takes thought and we've got that built in to our offerings.
Communication Training for CEOs & Leaders
Leadership starts at the top. The way you treat your employees creates a company culture and determines their ability to be productive. We recognize the challenges that come with this great responsibility. You're passionate about your company and you're not always sure how to convey that passion in a way that can most easily be received. You need to be a good communicator and may not always know how especially with difficult personalities, turnover, or vast diversity in the workplace. We simplify all of that and give you concrete tools for communication so that your employees are more dedicated and innovative, increasing the bottom line as a result.
Family Businesses Challenges
Because it's more than just a business.

Customers want to work with people that hear, validate, and empathize with their concerns and questions. 10x your customer retention with these foundational skill sets that we model.
How does your workplace rank with regards to healthy relationships and safe communication?
Good Communication Matters. Ongoing uncomfortable conflict can really be a bottleneck to growth. In a non threatening, no blame and no shame atmosphere, many obstacles are greatly reduced.
How hard is it to create change so everyone can get on board and feel comfortable?
When people feel safe, they can best contribute their unique gifts. Once the workplace is calm and connected where everyone feels valued and respected, usually, any resistance crumbles because they prefer the newer, more emotionally safer way to communicate than what was there prior.
Part of that newer, safer way of communicating will include:
Eliminating Win/Lose Thinking
Fostering a group atmosphere of sharing and contributing doesn’t always come naturally. Companies that talk the way employees want to hear, bosses that do a good job listening, and customers that feel validated and understood are the ones will be more valuable than companies that don’t.
Assuming that all persons are valid and “make sense” before they speak
Anti-thetical to this current age of black/white thinking and divisive politics, knowing that every person comes with their own unique story , that in their world, “they make sense”, whether or not you agree with them, is one of the concepts we impart so that all of your interactions others remain connected and fruitful.
Respecting others the way you yourself want to be treated and talked to
No one deserves to be shamed or blamed. This can be hard if you weren’t modeled healthy communication previously in your life. We will show you how so it becomes second nature. You can’t effectively work together if there is discord in the company. If communication flows and is open where people feel like they can share and be heard and understood, everyone benefits. Your employees will want to come to work and find ways to contribute because it’s a pleasant place to be! They will be more creative and productive.
Detoxing negativity, generalizations, and “Master talk”
There’s always someone at the office that assumes “everyone” agrees with them. They can have toxic energy and this needs to be nipped in the bud before it spreads to the rest of the team.
Validation of others’ point of view
Expressing curiosity, empathy, and validation show another that you truly get them and hear them. These days, employees want to be heard, understood, and valued for a job well done. Good leaders know that, providing a culture of openness and interpersonal relationships will create an environment and culture of trust.
