COMMUNICATION SKILLS WORKSHOPS

Drive results with soft skills training

THE LISTENING EDGE™

The Listening Edge trains participants to consciously shift their listening and thinking processes to become dramatically better listeners in just one day. Participants learn to:

  • Recognize their own listening habits and gaps, as well as those of others
  • Adapt their communications in-the-moment
  • Skillfully navigate the give and take of any presentation, conversation, or meeting
  • Achieve productive understanding

Each participant receives their own Mandel Listening Profile™, a scientifically validated cognitive assessment that measures what participants listen to and for, as well as what they might be unconsciously filtering out.

This is the first listening assessment of its kind, developed specifically for business situations. It provides tangible, measurable, and actionable insights that can be implemented immediately to strengthen productivity and collaboration for your organization.

PRESENT YOUR IDEAS AT THE EXECUTIVE LEVEL™

Participants in this workshop develop the confidence, competence, and executive presence to effectively engage with leadership.

Executives expect presentations to be clear, concise, and credible—and focused precisely on their point of need. That’s why feedback from executives is a critical component of this training. Participants present to key stakeholders, who then provide feedback on what they’d like to see in future presentations (and what they never want to see again).
