NextStage Class:
Know How Someone Is Thinking in 10 Seconds Or Less

Class Overview:
Have you ever been talking to someone or giving a presentation and didn't have a clue as to how it was going over? Have you ever wanted to make a good impression only to discover nothing you're doing is working the way you want? Have you ever been negotiating a deal and discovered you were completely mistaken about what the customer or supplier wanted or was giving you? Have you ever wondered how to get through to some people?

This half day class provides insights and a foundation for your own explorations and interactions with others. Students take away a basic understanding of how people communicate in person as well as through electronic mediums and what messages are left unstated in those communications. The class contains discussion, examples of situations and fun exercises. Participants will be encouraged to participate in these discussions and class activities.

  • Getting and keeping someone's attention
