Sound familiar?

When pressure doesn't work

  • you are pressured in negotiations: you either give in or damage the relationship
  • peers, management and shareholders “don’t hear” your arguments
  • valuable people leave, and you have nothing but money to motivate them
  • conflicts and “toxic” employees in the team
  • you have become a manager and don’t know how to lead and influence yesterday’s colleagues

In 2 days you will learn to

  1. 01understand how a specific person thinks and influence their decisions
  2. 02negotiate without pressure and resist pressure and manipulation
  3. 03motivate and retain people without raising salaries
  4. 04influence stakeholders without formal authority
  5. 05defuse conflict and toxicity before they flare up
  6. 06for new managers: lead yesterday’s colleagues, negotiate and motivate without pressure

Who it is for

Business ownersTop managersHR directorsNew managersSales leaders

Not “hardball negotiation” or “forbidden tricks”. You learn to see how a person thinks and build agreement around their way of thinking.

Thinking profile: the software, the operating system for developing strategies: how a person creates and processes thoughts and emotions and, as a result, reproduces behavior, speech and results.

Program

Two days: from thinking to influence

Day 1 · Thinking

9:00–21:00

we analyze and practice:

  • how a person’s picture of the world is formed and programmed
  • the system and structure of thinking through models, and learn to manage it consciously
  • a person’s thinking profile as a tool and technology for productive interaction with people and with yourself
  • the communication model: filters, state, behavior
  • programs of perception and emotion, motivation, decisions
  • calibration: reading a person in practice

Day 2 · Influence

9:00–21:00

we analyze and practice:

  • programs of reaction, interaction and time
  • negotiation through the counterpart’s profile
  • rebuilding the team: selection, roles, non-financial motivation
  • conflict and manipulation: how to recognize and defuse them
  • building your own profile as a checklist for your goals
  • final test on what you have learned
  • international certification

+2 online sessions, 2 hours each

10 December and 10 January, 19:00–21:00: we work on your cases after the intensive.
