"WORKPLACE FIRES"
All of us should ask ourselves why we focus on the 15% of communication (Spoken Word) when over 85% of communication is communicated non-verbally. “Workplace Fires” is an immersive workshop where attendees learn how to shift their focus from the spoken word to reading and reacting off non-verbal cues.
The spark that starts Workplace Fires includes:
Facial Expressions– One’s facial expressions conveys the emotions and intentions of what one truly feels when talking.
Body Language– One’s body language is either open, closed, or neutral. Depending on what one’s body language shows will have a direct impact on the communication process.
Tone of Voice– The tone of one’s voice will affect the meaning and impact of one’s verbal message.
Energy Levels– Energy is felt in all venues and in all forums and it is measured in intensity, not volume.
OUTCOMES:
- Shifting Focus-Shifting the focus from the spoken word to what is communicated non-verbally will reduce the number of Workplace Fires.
- Improving Managerial Skills– Employees having the skill to read co-workers non-verbal cues will sharpen their ability to lead and manage men and women from all generations.
- Increasing Employee Morale– Employees feeling they are being heard and understood when communicating at the workplace will have a direct impact on improved morale and overall culture.
- Allowing Fierce Conversations– Conversations that need to be had but are avoided can happen when organizations know how to communicate both verbally and non-verbally in a constructive manner.
ENERGY = SUCCESS
