Language for Change

How to master the vocabulary of beliefs & behaviour change

Are you able to detect the powerful, highly suggestible and yet largely unconscious conversational language patterns that leading statesmen, effective advertisers and successful executives have been trained in? This workshop will uncover these 'secrets' and teach you many ways to use language more effectively. Language lies at the very heart of how we communicate, influence ourselves and each other, by talking, listening, watching, reading and writing, everyday.

We essentially communicate in two ways: Verbally, the actual words and syntax we use, and nonverbally, the way we say them - voice tonality (volume, pitch, timbre, etc.) and body-language (posture, gestures, eye movements, facial expressions, etc.). Enhancing these skills; will enable you to read others minds, spot tell-tail body-language, uncover hidden agendas, avoid misunderstanding, defuse conflict, ascertain a persons values and beliefs, and accelerate culture change.
