Building a Foundation for Causative Communications®
WHAT TO EXPECT
What happened the day after this training:
Alisa made a huge breakthrough. She gained recognition and enthusiastic support from senior executives who previously hadn’t paid attention. She also said she was comfortable in the conversation for the first time.
Alan was in a meeting that’s usually very contentious. Everyone was talking over each other. AIan decided to transform the conversation using what he’d learned. To his surprise, “Suddenly everyone started listening and very soon they were all agreeing.”
Carla called the person she’d been struggling with. In fact she had talked to her for two hours the day before this class, with “no improvement at all. Going around in circles.” In just a few minutes (less than 5), she transformed their conversation. She said, “Our relationship completely changed for the better at that moment. We built trust.”
Sean had a call with a peer who had frustrated him for months. He reported, “We had the best, most collaborative conversation we have ever had.”
Jennifer had a virtual meeting with the manager she had been trying to persuade to approve a large expenditure for months. She said, “It was very different. I really had his attention this time, even virtually. And this time I got a far more positive and encouraging reaction to my proposal. He actually approved it!”
Laura had a direct report who didn’t respect her as much as she had respected her predecessor that she’d reported to for many years. The day after the training they talked for over an hour. It was the first time Laura felt she was being respected as much as her predecessor. It felt fabulous.
George attended a virtual meeting with his extended team. It was the end of the day, people were tired, low energy and discouraged by recent events. Using what he’d learned, he “changed the energy of the entire team”. It took him less than 5 minutes.
And many amazing things happened in their personal lives too.
After you do this training, don’t be surprised when great things happen to you too.
Your dreams and goals
To achieve your dreams and goals, you need the ability to quickly build wonderful relationships and enthusiastic cooperation with the people who can most influence the success of the outcomes you want to create.
The only hope of swiftly gaining real cooperation and assistance, especially when you’re in a difficult or challenging conversation, is your ability to communicate effectively, your ability to successfully guide the conversation to a very satisfying outcome for both of you.
That’s what this training is about. To teach you how to build critical communication abilities so you’re able to navigate life’s and relationship complexities to get spectacular outcomes with other people.
You’ll learn that there’s a precise process, a formula even, that transforms simple talking into powerful communication.
You’ll see that when you violate this process, something people do A LOT, you’ll create unintended consequences and you most definitely will not get the exact outcome you want. After learning the essential ingredients in the formula that really works, you’ll finally understand why all the “misses” in your life happen, how to turn them around and how to avoid them in the future.
You will be successful in the following: navigating difficult conversations, persuasion and influence, negotiations, leadership, creating change, transforming difficult situations, conversations and people, creating really great relationships and creating extraordinary outcomes.
You will learn how to effectively:
1. Persuade using a powerful and natural approach to achieving successful outcomes
2. Be compelling when you express your ideas to all levels of the organization
3. Create more meaningful, higher quality conversations and understanding
4. Make people want to more intently listen to you and really hear you
5. Successfully and genuinely address and remove hesitations and concerns
6. Engage and inspire others
7. Listen to and ensure others feel fully heard
8. Help others receive feedback and make positive change
9 Navigate difficult conversations to arrive at very satisfying agreements
10. Create solid trust and respect as you build high quality relationships
11. Re-direct conflict into the creation of truly productive conversations and positive outcomes
12. Create enthusiastic cooperation, true commitment, support and powerful follow-up actions from others taking you straight to your goals
Participants call it “life-changing”.
Expect to practice, receive expert feedback, intensive personal coaching and dramatic “Before” and “After” differences in your ability to influence others. You’ll develop a powerful new communication skill set that will enable you to achieve successful outcomes and great relationships in any situation.

“I did your training to learn how to handle difficult conversations.

What our clients say:
“I am amazed at how people are responding now!” – M.S., Engineer
" The critical meeting I had just after the webinar was a huge success. And the second critical discussion with the team I have really been struggling with was another amazing success story. I could not believe how my relationship with two individuals I’ve been struggling with was transformed over the course of a single phone call. They are now going to include me on several important projects, and I am confident this is the beginning of a truly effective working relationship. And I continue to experience amazing things even still. The executive I met with immediately after your webinar has been reflecting on our conversation ever since, and yesterday I was asked to begin work on a very high-profile project that he wants my input on. I am beyond thrilled to have this opportunity to shine and I fully intend to make great things happen! So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you again! - K.G., Director
