Conversational Intelligence (C-IQ)

Words create worlds, but a Standford University study has proven that 9 out of 10 conversations miss the mark.

Without the ability to access the right tools, we all fall into set patterns that stop growth and limit solutions; such as exerting power rather than exercising leadership, talking past each other or being addicted to being right. These patterns activate the lower parts of our brains that trigger fear and judgment, and ultimately result in bad leadership and lower profits.

Inefficient conversations are extremely costly, highly frustrating and a waste of time. But also very common, therefore this program/training opens up an opportunity to massive transformation.

Conversational Intelligence (C-IQ) is a groundbreaking, neuroscientific framework that profoundly shifts the way we interact and connect -- whether you’re working with individuals, teams or entire organizations.
