The Mouth Trap Workshop

(Based on Gary Seigel’s The Mouth Trap: Strategies, Tips, and Secrets to Keep Your Foot Out of Your Mouth)

Imagine if you could take a magic wand and transform people at work into more engaging communicators? No more words just popping out of their mouths like gumballs. It’s very possible to create a world of faster meetings, moments of acknowledgement and appreciation, short, concise bullet-pointed memos, and conversations that tactfully resolve key problems.

Discover the key strategies, tips, and secrets to handle the most difficult conversations. Learn to say it right the first time and achieve positive outcomes. This course can be customized for your organization and include any or all of the following:

  • Prepare for high-impact communication (i.e. scripting).
  • Tune in instead of tuning out.
  • Customize messages for specific personalities.
  • Navigate around difficult bosses.
  • Coach employees from hell.
  • Create tact and finesse with the entire staff: speaking up, speaking down, speaking sideways.
  • Learn to avoid distractions like misuse of body language and tone.
  • Use anchoring and NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) to promote positive thinking.
  • Deliver acceptable apologies.
  • Learn to write more effective emails that avoid road rage.
