OUR APPROACH

We provide the insight and direction you need to get your message across with confidence, clarity, and conviction.

We Lead with Relationship-Building

We believe that effective communication is about making connections through not only your words but also your voice and your body language. 

There are three ways you impact others when you speak. Through your:

  • Body language

  • Vocal inflection

  • Words

Research has shown that when there’s a discrepancy among any of these three avenues of impact, people believe your body language first, then your vocal inflection, and lastly your words.

We take a holistic approach—focusing on body language, inflection support, and your verbal message—to help ensure you are consistently successful in how you relay your message.

We Listen Deeply

We ask questions and listen carefully to your answers so we can tailor our sessions to your specific situation.

We Are Experiential 

While we present theory and research to help change behavior, we do not provide a one-way lecture. You do most of the speaking to practice your new communications skills.

We Provide Real-Time Direction 

We believe the combination of on-the-spot coaching and professional, peer, and video feedback is central to success. Our observation-based, non-judgmental approach helps to build team within your company or university.  We coach as a sports instructor would so you can feel the difference immediately between your habits (your “comfort zone”) and your new skills. 

We Instill Confidence

Whether you are an analyst presenting internally to your portfolio manager, a group tag-teaming on a new business presentation, or an academic presenting to decision-makers, we work with you on the specific communications skills that will put you in control of the situation. We take a non-threatening and active approach so you can present yourself with confidence, reliability, and personality.
