When was the last time someone convinced you of anything by poking you in the chest with a bunch of statements? How much more persuasive would someone be if they asked you questions instead? People are hard-wired to make statements and it is difficult for them to ask questions with skill. Learn how to use a simple and sophisticated framework to ask questions.

For example, learn the difference between situation, problem, implication and pay-off questions and develop the ability to ask the right question at the right time. Results? Win more of the better projects, get what you want before the negotiations start and minimize time spent resolving conflicts.  

Win More Yeses with Practical Leadership Skills for Any Environment  

Amateurs practice them until they get them right. Professionals practice them until they cannot get them wrong… 

Do you really need another “technique of the month” or does it make more sense to revisit some practical leadership skills? If you did, would you “walk your talk” with more conviction?

Most people would probably agree that dealing with people is both the biggest challenge and greatest opportunity in professional life. What would be the implications of practicing leadership skills in a common sense manner until you cannot get them wrong? What would be the payoff?  You will leave this workshop equipped with 10 Practical Leadership Skills in your tool kit.

Leadership & Business Development Using The 80/20 Principle

It’s a classic dilemma: every client and prospect is important and your organization has finite time, talent and resources.

In doing so, everyone in your organization will understand your business development efforts and is in lock-step with you.
