High-Impact Communication

Speak so people listen. Listen so people trust. Influence so people act.

In today's workplace, communication is everything—yet most professionals are never trained in the real skills that drive influence, trust, and action. Whether you're leading teams, serving customers, managing up, or presenting ideas, the difference between getting ignored and getting results often comes down to how you communicate.

High-Impact Communication is a course designed for professionals who want to dramatically improve their ability to speak with clarity, listen with empathy, and influence with confidence. This isn't communication 101—this is real-world, research-backed skill building for people who need to get things done with and through others.

4-Week Online Certificate Program

This cohort begins on August 11, and because it's running during the summer months, participants have 8 weeks (not 4 weeks) to complete the program. So even if people have scheduled vacations, they can still easily complete the course.

COURSE OUTLINE

Module 1: Master the 4 Communication Styles to Persuade & Influence Every Person

Have you ever talked to someone but it's like they didn't hear a word you said? It's typically because you used the wrong communication style! Some people like communicating with lots of data while others prefer to focus on feelings. Some like conversations that go step-by-step while others jump right to the end. Picking the wrong communication style for a person or audience can ruin your ability to get heard. The greatest speechwriters in history have tailored their messages to their audiences, and in Module 1, you'll learn their secrets PLUS the modern-day science of communication styles.

You'll discover:

How to quickly discover the unique communication styles of investors, colleagues, bosses, customers, and more
The 1-Question that immediately reveals someone's communication style
Specific scripts & techniques for tailoring your message to all 4 types of communication styles (Analytical, Personal, Functional and Intuitive)
The Multipathing Model used by great speechwriters to speak to a room filled with different communication styles
How to identify and speak to 'process-driven' people who like the nitty-gritty detail
How to identify and speak to 'big picture' people who don't want lots of detail
How to identify and speak to 'analytical' people who want data, hard numbers, and dislike that 'warm-and-fuzzy' stuff
How to identify and speak to people that are warm and chatty 'feelers'
The shocking data on effective communication styles from over 1 million leaders and professionals

Module 2: The Psychological Tactics of Great Listening

If you want to succeed in the executive suite, leadership, sales, customer service, or anywhere that involves interacting with people, you need effective listening skills. And listening skills (especially listening empathically) are one of the biggest drivers of charisma and interpersonal communication. BUT the average person retains only 10% of what they hear. Only 30% of leaders currently listen with empathy. One study found that physicians stop listening 18 seconds after a patient starts speaking. Another found that salespeople stop listening 21 seconds after a prospect starts talking. You'll learn the groundbreaking Structured Listening approach (including the listening techniques that clinical psychologists and behavioral investigators use).

You'll discover:

How a cognitive listening technique called Perspective-Taking leads to others feeling 78% more empathy towards us
Discover the science of Perspective-Taking, and how it differs from sympathy, active listening, and more
How to use Temporal Distancing to stop yourself from getting angry and making snap judgements
Why Structured Listening is so much more powerful than older techniques like active listening
The 3-Steps to effective Structured Listening: Eliciting, Listening and Confirming
The Seven Phrases you should NEVER use when you're listening to someone
The Two Tests that determine whether you've truly heard what other people are saying
4 types of probing questions that direct people to share and reveal their deeper issues (Factual, Emotional, Direct, Indirect)
1 question that stops people from rambling, but redirects them and can still keep them talking
Why paraphrasing can make people angry, and what you should do instead
3-step process for resolving misunderstandings or when you misheard what they were saying

Module 3: The Art of Communicating Diplomatically & Tactfully

Have you ever been told that your communication is a little too aggressive? OR have you ever gotten stuck trying to talk about tough issues because you were so worried about offending someone? You'll learn science and specific techniques for communicating with diplomacy and tact while still delivering even tough messages. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Steve Jobs can get away with being 'rough around the edges' and lacking interpersonal skills, but unless you're going to invent Amazon, Tesla or the iPhone, you can't get away with being seen as harsh or brusque. More than just emotional intelligence, you'll discover the specific interpersonal communication skills, scripts and words that create diplomacy and tact.

Including:

7 Trigger Words that immediately make people angry (and what you should say instead)
5 Diplomacy Words that soften your message and reduce people's anger and defensiveness
How the "Yes And" technique allows you to disagree with someone while still being incredibly nice and diplomatic
4-Step Script for saying "No" without alienating your colleagues
The 2-sentences that stop will you from arguing with people (even when you're getting annoyed or angry)
The 1-sentence that immediately increases your likeability by 19%
How a specific type of compliment called "positive labeling" can radically improve people's behavior and increase their trust in you

You can learn charisma, presence and confidence; you don't need to have been born lucky. In fact, there are specific science-based techniques that will dramatically increase your ability to command attention, project confidence and exude charisma. If you're willing to change a few specific behaviors, you will immediately see a difference in how others treat you. Even if you're a natural introvert and lack the "gift of gab" you can experience dramatic improvements.

You'll discover:

How to change the intonation of your voice to create more charisma and personal connection
The exact seconds you need to pause before speaking to create a greater executive presence
Body language techniques (including nonverbal cues like head nodding, hand positioning, and posture) that will immediately improve how others think about you

The training technique that clinical psychologists use to significantly improve their "presence," confidence and nonverbal communication, and how you can apply it immediately (just by using the camera on your phone)
