Different Personality and Communication Styles
Beware . . . Don’t treat people the way you want to be treated 
Differences in personality and communication styles affect communication, misunderstandings, conflict, and stress. Sometimes when people are different, we think they are difficult. By understanding these differences we can have more success in achieving positive outcomes.
Sometimes the biggest problem is not recognizing how and why treating people the way you want to be treated may actually have adverse effects. You’ll have many ‘a-ha’ moments personally and professionally. . . and perhaps sore from laughing so hard at the typical mistakes we make.
Conflict Resolution and Managing Emotions
When the pressure is high, emotions are raw, and the moment is brief – what you say in that defining moment matters! How do you tap into your intelligence when the situation seems insane?
Most of us are uncomfortable with conflict yet it can be handled with diplomacy. Silence is acceptance. Ignoring it often creates more conflict and accelerates emotional spirals than by simply dealing with it. By learning how to handle conflict and emotions (theirs and ours), we can improve relationships, inspire positive change, and massively reduce stress.
You’ll also understand some powerful basics on how men and women react and communicate differently when stress and emotions come into play. Know how and when to handle these difficult conversations, and even tips on how not to cry.
The Stress Factor: Awareness and Solutions
Stop in the Name of Stress
Stress affects us daily, and certain professions deal with it more 
than others. We now know that most chronic disease and illness is stress related. Stress releases brain chemicals that can be toxic, contributing to physical ailments as minor as headaches and as critical as heart attacks. It also saps billions of dollars in lost revenue and mounting medical fees, not to mention quality of life.
Be very aware:
- What happens to you physically when high emotions and stress
come into play - How to recognize your own stress triggers and get a different response
- How to strengthen your sense of well being and clarity of purpose
- When you can’t stop the stress from coming at you, know how to
alleviate it once you feel it - What the #1 route to insanity is and how to avoid it
Keep Stress and Difficult People from
Ruining your Day
Difficult people may be the know-it-all, passive aggressive, aggressive, condescending, always been this way, negative, blame others, toxic… the list goes on. We spend more time at work than any other activity in our lives. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t suffered the effects of a toxic person at work who sucks the energy and passion out of your job. Some people’s only success seems to be bringing down the success and happiness of others.
Did you know, of all the employees who leave a job, the majority of them do so as a result of unresolved conflict with others that contributes to a toxic work environment and high stress?
We all know what it’s like to have a stressful day and take it out on traffic, our loved ones, or ourselves. Or worse, keep our stress inside, buried alive as it manifests physically. Don’t lose your good people; give them the tools they need.
Take control and learn some fast, fun and focused tips on how to handle and reduce stress, stay positive, confident, and feel good about yourself.
How to Inspire and Motivate
People thrive in an atmosphere where they 
are passionate, enthusiastic, and proud of their contributions. It makes us happier, healthier, and more productive. By knowing how to inspire and motivate yourself and others, you can increase your productivity, sense of joy, and reduce stress. Any goal requires action, and these
systems work.
We’ll cover tips on:
- How to communicate for positive impact
- What motivates and inspires people, why it works, and the how to do it

Don’t let your team slip into complacency. Or not feeling appreciated. Fuel that sense of purpose, performance, accountability and pride.
Leadership and The Communication Factor 
“There has never been a great leader who wasn’t a great communicator”
Enhance your communication impact and results in coaching, delegating, delivering effective feedback, inspiring change, and handling conflict.
What makes a good Leader? It goes beyond age, experience, and education. It’s also about the passion, focus, and drive of the individual. A great leader inspires the best in oneself and others. How do you communicate that?
As a Leader, you are held by a different standard. Your success is based on the performance of others. Focus on integrity, accountability and being the consummate professional when it comes to how you communicate and build relationships with others.
Pop the Garlic:
Get more done in less time and have a life outside of work
You can ‘pop’ 5 cloves of garlic in the same amount of time it takes to peal one. Learn systems to increase your productivity and efficiency.
Without a clear understanding of what determines a priority, we end up doing a really good job on something that doesn’t need to be done in the first place. Or we feel exhausted by the end of the day yet are not quite sure what we actually accomplished.
There are systems to easily determine how to prioritize and organize one’s time. There is no such thing as free time. Recognize your time wasters and know how to maximize efficiency in what you do.
