"If you have a team that can run with the ball, run the ball. And if you have a great quarterback, build the team around him. You have to use the talent you have."
The son of Tiger Johnson, former football coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Therefore, your first impression needs to be a lasting impression. If you are part of a team, you will immediately want to get people behind a common goal and move forward. If you’re a salesperson, the first words you say can gain you entrance or exit from the gatekeeper. If you’re on a job interview, you can land a position or lose a position from your initial impression. And in your personal life, building a strong rapport immediately and recognizing another person’s communication style is essential to successful two-way communication.
Whether you’re selling yourself, a product or service, cold calling customers, or pitching an idea to others, success is often based on building an immediate connection. Sound easy? Not so! Readingpeople can be tricky. The challenge is to make a significant impact quickly, figure out what motivates people, what moves them forward, recognize how they make decisions and appeal to these specific needs.
Evonne will get you way beyond the initial handshake and introduction. You’ll take a quick survey to identify your individual problem solving style and then find out how to identify others. Evonne contends that within every group there are four communication styles: 1) the results oriented; 2) the attention getter; 3) the pleaser; and 4) just the facts. Do you know your style? More importantly, can you pick up on other people’s verbal and behavioral cues and adapt to their style?
Through this fun, entertaining seminar, you will learn to identify the four different problem solving approaches and distinguish several characteristics of each approach. Then, you can immediately and effectively begin applying these techniques to actual situations to achieve successful relationship outcomes.
The end result? Learn to customize your approach, communicate with flexibility and use language that energizes people.
This seminar focuses on:
- Being able to read people quickly and make a lasting impression
- Identifying concrete tools for developing positive communication styles to use at home, at work and in ALL relationships
- Flexing your communication style to build powerful, long lasting relationships
- Gaining instant credibility to increase more sales, build more effective teams or getting on the same page with your partner.
