| DiSC. Understanding Behavior Profiles. |
| In order to effectively communicate your message to your client, audience, or even family & friends, it is important to understand yourself first. Understanding your strengths, how you receive and process information, and your style of "learning” is a huge step to becoming a better communicator. Once you have a firm grasp on how you learn, you become better at identifying those traits in others. Subtle differences among communicators make a great impact on how your message is received. There is a great truth to "know your audience" and the assessment tools we use in training are a great starting point toward becoming a more effective communicator. |

Four
Cornerstones for Practical Skills |
 Nuero-Linguistic
Programming (NLP) is a concept that is based on how humans
think and experience the world. The structure of NLP is based
upon models originating from studies of individuals that were
extremely successful in their particular field. It is an effective
solution that can quickly and effectively change thought patterns,
behaviors and beliefs that hinder success and allow resourceful
responses. So, whether you are involved with product sales,
a team builder or trainer, essential skills for personal and
professional development can be learned through NLP.
Four basic principles to assist in your understanding are:
- Rapport
- Goal/Outcome
- Sensory Acuity
- Flexibility |
| The Words
We Use. |
What
about the “Speech”? |
 In
the age of e-mail, voice mail and fax machines verbal communication
has taken the backseat. Preferring to avoid feelings of insecurity
and rejection during verbal correspondence, many individuals
opt for an electronic means of communication. Obviously, it
is much easier to send or receive a “No” reply via
email rather than be faced with an emotional or pushy recipient
in person.
Utilizing e-mail to communicate is not inherently bad business practice, but
when the time comes to speak, be prepared. Learning words
that improve communication efforts coupled with the proper
tone and delivery method can help put you “one-up”
on the competition.

What
To Do About Body Language |
Only 7% of our ability
to effectively communicate relies on spoken words. The remaining
percentages are divided between the tonality of the message
(38%) and physiology (55%).
There is an entire world in completely understanding body
language. Many of us are familiar with the typical “arms-crossed”
stance indicating defensiveness or resistance. However, being
able to recognize and decipher other body language can often
help build better rapport with clients. Identifying this form
of non-verbal communication is essential to truly understanding
the needs and character of virtually anyone. Perhaps even
more important is to understand how you yourself are communicating
non-verbally. Understanding eye contact, arm/leg position,
posture and so much more can help immensely within the business
arena.
