Every day, in some way shape or form, you are vying for a top spot, offering some compromise or otherwise working to get something from someone else. Your spouse wants to go out for Chinese, you want to go for steaks&#8230; Your kid wants to play PlayStation and you want them to take out the trash&#8230; Your mother needs you to paint her porch and you want to play golf&#8230; All of them, negotiations.

		<description><![CDATA[In this post we will be dealing with the second and third components of the CAPA model, which are attention and positive affect. As you can imagine, if your message is going to be persuasive, it needs to gain their attention first. Think about it for a second&#8230; Which audience do you think would be more palatable: One that is hanging on your every word, or one that is yawning and looking at their watches. Now your content and subject matter is a constant. Although you can indeed make changes in the ways in which it is presented, it “is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Political and Professional Speech Writing Like it or not, as a species, we are very much a stimulus/response “mechanism.” For the person attempting to take more volitional control of their life, this can be problematic. For the person taking the leadership role over a group of lives, this can be a gift&#8230; By and large, we (as human&#8217;s) respond very predictably to specific types and modes of information; in other words, the way in which it is communicated, and the content itself. In understanding how to effectively use these two attributes, one can produce more leverage and persuasion in their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Communication Coaching Communication coaching refers to the formal assessment, prescription, training and evaluation services that I provide, including the areas of negotiation, questioning/interrogation, persuasion, sales &#38; marketing and interpersonal &#38; couples communication, among others. Communication pervades every avenue of your life, and in many instances, in an insidious way. When asked, the gross majority of the population will report that they are highly effective communicators; in reality, though, very few are. This is no ones fault. Neither our educational systems or culture promotes ongoing training. Likewise, the world gets along just fine without advanced training, doesn&#8217;t it? Well, yes and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Witness Preparation &#8211; Effectively preparing a witness for trial is, if done properly, a massive undertaking. Decisions made by both Judge and Jury will be heavily weighted by a number of factors including: The appearance of the witness including skin, hair, clothing and mannerisms, The themes, anchors and verbiage used by the witness, Clarity, accuracy and speed of responses to questions, Underlying presuppositions of their statements, Heuristic processes manifest in their current cognitive environment, Informational priming, etc&#8230; If you aren&#8217;t taking (at least) all of the above factors into consideration, along with a number of others from the fields of [...]]]></description>

What exactly does this mean? Well, I help you identify motivational, practical and communication oriented challenges in your professional and/or personal lives, and remedy them. In my opinion, prepackaged and rigidly structured approaches to these types of coaching services is highly indicative of a “failure to launch” program, right out of the gate. Communication is thought, and thought is communication; both of which are highly dynamic, fluid and ever changing in the way [...]]]></description>

As a part of my preparation for the meeting, I put together a quick outline to help my interviewer better understand the content I wanted to review. As a loyal reader of my blog, I thought/think that you deserve to benefit from this just as much as the Inc. readers. Likewise, it is unrealistic to think that they will place all of this information in the article. As such, the Inc. readers that have found their way over can [...]]]></description>

In my book, I show you how the mind: Creates the very process of thought Determines where our attention is to be place Filters incoming external, and existing internal “information” Generates emotion and directs action In having a functional understanding of these processes, I show you how to subsequently predict behavior and influence your audiences thought processes… I have also developed strong, foundational, “block and tackle” models/systems that are actually [...]]]></description>
