A Comprehensive Guide to Expressing Yourself: Speak, Write & Listen Well to Effectively Share Ideas and Feelings
Most of us consider ourselves to be decent communicators. But in business and in everyday life, decent is a far cry from good. The challenge is to ensure what is in one brain is transmitted clearly to a separate and different second brain, or a thousand different brains. This can be done, but it takes time to learn and practice to do well. Most people don't bother. So, here's the question: Why bother? Can excellent communication be that important?
Poor communication wastes time, causes confusion and frustration, leads to bad decisions, hurts feelings, costs money, and is usually boring. On the plus side, good communication is engaging, informative, actionable, interesting, quick, and of course, clear and simple. What's yours like?
Bob's courses follow that old saying, "if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Bob teaches both skills and concepts. If you want both training and an education, this is the place, tools and ideas. When you want more than bullet points. Bob's quest is to create courses that will help you meet life's challenges with heart and wisdom.
This is a skill building course to enable everyone in an organization, a business, family, any group, to communicate expertly. This means being able to organize ideas, express them accurately and understandably, and be able to elicit feedback so the communication loop is closed. From appreciative inquiry to giving bad news, all the important challenges of effective communicating are covered. The student will be able to handle just about any situation and have a good chance at handling every situation.
Both concepts and skills are taught. In addition, a section will teach the basics of good editing by working on a practical exercise.
Here are a few comments from former students:
From a city of Seattle leader: I was pretty skeptical and resistant to the idea of attending this training. I am pleased to report that I feel completely different…I am hopeful about the process improvement and team building that occurred.
From a King County leader: I learned new tools that focus on the people aspect of work which is critical…It has recharged and added to my supervision “batteries.”
From a leader at Seattle Comm. Coll.: Gave me a new way of looking at problems and how to work on solutions.
From a Colorado Nursing home leader: What I learned changed my life.
From many participants: I will join every and any course that Bob leads.
Bob has written two dozen books and given many presentations to large and small groups. But in a college public speaking course, he froze giving his final exam speech. completely forgetting what he was supposed to say. He didn't die on stage like he expected to do but continued studying public speaking (and writing) and became quite good at both.
