“I spend more time teaching effective communication to executive coaching clients than ALL OTHER SKILLS COMBINED.”
- Mark Horstman

Why: To become a better communicator. If you’re a manager now, your communication skills are what carry your ideas to your team, and your value to the rest of the organization. We bet every “great manager” you know is a great communicator. THEY KNOW THIS STUFF ALREADY!

Our agenda:

Before the Conference begins: We will provide advance learning Podcasts about our behavioral communications model. All attendees will receive a DiSC Behavioral/Communications profile assessment before the conference. The more you know up front, the more practice you’ll be able to do.

Day 1: We’ll learn the fundamental principle that communication is what the listener does. We’ll learn and practice the three step method for effective communications: Observe, Analyze, and Tailor. In 1 day you will transform your ability to communicate and persuade others.

Day 2: We will practice the three most frequently used communication skills of all managers. [Don’t you even know what they ARE?]

Both Days: Our signature Open Q&A. We stay mic-ed at all meals to answer any and all management questions. On the final day of the conference, it’s not unusual to have 75% of attendees still in their seats 2 hours after we end the formal presentations!

After the Conference! Every attendee will be able to submit a presentation video to be reviewed by Manager Tools, providing detailed insights into what’s effective and how to change what’s not working.

Please join us for this first ever Effective Communications Conference!
