LEARNING TO COMMUNICATE AS A PROFESSIONAL

Last year I sent out 10 articles on Communication— How to be a Professional Communicator. Those articles consisted of the basic principles for effectively communicating and descriptions about how communication works. If you would like to learn that in much greater depth, first take a study in the NLP Communication Model, and after that, take the ACMC Coaching Mastery training.

Yes, this training is most directly for coaching communication and yet it is also for so much more. It is for becoming a professional communicator as you use conversations to influence people, persuade, motivate, enable, empower, grow and develop, and transform. That’s why this Module III training is a communication bootcamp that meets the needs of any and every leader, manager, consultant, and parent.

If you are a person who seeks to win the minds and hearts of people to an idea that you have— then this Coaching Mastery program is precisely for you. As you know, when you seek to communicate to most people, to influence them, to get them to see your point of view, or act on something that you are offering — a great many people (probably most) will not respond positively if you are too direct, perceived as demanding or pressuring, or if they think you do not understand them. So you get resistance. Then “communication” becomes “hard,” sometimes impossible.

What is a leader to do? The answer is to initiate a conversation that invites that person into a co-created state of mutual understanding which is the prelude to winning one’s mind and heart. Interested in doing that? We say that “coaching” is a unique conversation unlike any other conversation. It is not a normal conversation. It is not talking at a person. It is talking with a person so that the person comes along to understand you and/or what you are presenting (winning the mind) so the person then cares about it (winning the heart). Now how skillful are you in doing that?

My invitation to you is to join us in Bali Indonesia as we begin 2020 (March 14-21) for the eight- day intensive coach training and start your journey to becoming a professional communicator. And because it is in Bali Indonesia, you could possibly take a holiday there (before or after the training) and write the training off as a business development expense.
