Challenges we're facing right now
Tom Peters notes, in his book "Search of Excellence", that an organisation is nothing more and nothing less than people (employees) serving people (customers and communities).
The people that are successful in organisations - and the reason those organisations are successful - are those that have both soft skills and technical skills. And because many “traditional” entry-level job responsibilities are now being automated and replaced by software, employers are demanding employees bring something more than technical skills to the table.
Soft skills are increasingly becoming the hard skills of today's workforce. It's just not enough to be highly trained in technical skills, without developing the softer, interpersonal and relationship-building skills that help you to communicate and collaborate effectively.
Our "Engage” training program teaches your people the 7 communication skills decoded from genius communicators. It provides sophisticated yet easy-to-learn frameworks to navigate conversations. By having your employees use these communication processes consistently, they will operate within a well-formed frame and create a discourse that is clear and concise. And as a result, it will transform the way they are heard, seen and regarded in the workplace and their lives.

Course keys decoded from genius communicators
We have the capability to discover, from top performers, exactly how they produce their outstanding results using modelling techniques from neuroscience and applied cognitive psychology.
From this work, we've developed a series of models of commercial soft skills. We've also designed a collection of remote micro learning to transfer the capabilities to those who want them.

Brendan Farrugia

Today we applied what you taught us with a client who was less than impressed with us prior to the meeting. One hour later for him to thank us, say that we were very different from other sales representatives and to ask could we come back to present to the directors was a fantastic result.
The whole team is certainly walking around with a lot more confidence.
Kimi Boyd

Geoff and Chris’s work has re-ignited an interest in me that was gone.
The program has opened up a whole new platform on which we now operate. It has given my team and me a universal language that helps to keep things within a framework - which we never had before. Everyone’s attention is directed to the same intention.
From Geoff and Chris's teachings, I now have an unconscious competence!

This stuff has changed my life! In fact it has changed the way we do business here. Apart from exceeding the targets for productivity improvement – there is a real buzz – an optimistic energy around here – the difference is palpable. We have a new way of communicating and asking questions that is far more efficient and gets accurate information quickly. This flows on to get fact decision making which has a big impact on business performance and staff morale.

Why your people will get skill uptake
Traditional trainers attempt to create behavioural change directly with new behaviour. What results is that graduates can talk about what to do (e.g. answer test questions) but they fail to demonstrate the flexible behavioural competence and capability in real life
This course is built using the principles of Cognitive Load Theory to ensure information is easily learned, retained and applied. We combine this with experiential learning activities (i.e learning by doing) for fast and effective skill acquisition
Why this course may be just what your people need right now
It is often believed some of the skills required to lead and manage people are instinctive. They are not. They are learned.
Anyone who has ever had to make a team, an organisation or business work knows the importance of communication skills. Yet so many of us have not been trained or been mentored in the art of effective communication and leadership.
The "Engage" program consists of a number of communication and thinking patterns essential for managing others effectively; especially making and responding to requests. In addition to managing down the Engage program is an excellent tool for managing up and managing sideways.
As a result of incorporating the "Engage" model your people will find that as either a leader or a team member they are then well placed to become the model for replicating the behaviours that you want to see in the organisation. This is how organisational culture can be nudged in a useful direction.
