PROGRAM: Have Your Say, Get Your Way™
(a.k.a., Lead with influence ... without being a bully or beeyotch)
PERFECT FOR: Leaders, managers, volunteers, and employees who want to get heard, influence decision-makers, and communicate concerns.

What I learned in this session has changed the way I communicate. Now I can say what I really think … and feel good about it

DESCRIPTION: Do you remember a time when you wish you had spoken up? Maybe you had a great idea, but no one in the boardroom heard it. Or worse yet, someone else blurted out what you wanted to say and got all the credit. Have you ever been so upset about something that you just couldn’t find the words to productively express yourself, so you either exploded in anger or burst into tears? Maybe you walked away in avoidance, resignation or frustration? On that very day, you wanted to have your say, to share your expertise, to stand your ground and be heard; you just didn’t know how. With the “IDEAL Say It System”, you’ll know when and how to speak up or walk away, and do it all without regret. You’ll be equipped to influence the decision-makers in your life and step into your role as a leader.
Do you …
- sit in meetings and keep it all inside until you explode?
- want to kick yourself for saying too much?
- meet with clients and shudder at the thought of sharing your concerns?
- get tired of saying, “wish I’d said that”?
- struggle with knowing when to say something or remain silent?
- live in a constant state of regret and uncertainty about what you said or didn’t say?
The feedback afterwards was overwhelmingly positive… our employees are still talking about what they learned and applying key principles in their day-to-day communications… well worth the investment … excellent session and one which I highly recommend!
