Crisis managers, hostage negotiators, and world-class coaches all have two things in common: mastery of the counterintuitive skills behind influencing others, and being more like HR managers than you think. Virtually no people manager is taught how to wield those skills to bypass resistance to change and advance team performance, but this is your chance.
Overview
HR is the place where everyone dumps their people problems. Why? Because they don’t have the skills required for tough conversations. So, they bring them to the “soft skills” people to fix it, often after the problem is past the point of no return.
What will you learn?
- Why people perceive your information as a threat before they even hear it
- How to side-step Amygdala Hijacks (fight, flight, freeze) to build trust in seconds
- How to spark someone’s interest in your view, even when they start with no interest
- The kind of listening gets past people’s resistance to change
- The kind of speaking advances team performance when the heat is on
