Words of Praise...

"This course was genuinely excellent - it has made an instant difference to solving some ongoing and troubling puzzles for me by providing me with a much better understanding of the behavioural dynamics and leadership styles of those around and above me.  It has allowed me to change my expectations and given me different routes to go down to influence and get what I need.  I no longer feel I am beating my head against a brick wall.  It has also provided some great tools and insights in how I can improve both my relationships and outcomes with colleagues and customers that have already proven valuable."

- Senior Manager, Rackspace

Did you know...

People don't buy from you, or invest in you, as a result of want and need.
They buy or invest when you create psychological safety.

Different leaders and executive buyers have different unconscious psychological obstacles – negative patterns, unconscious bias, judgements, perceptions, personal stories - that can prevent you from building trusted relationships.

Here's the good news...

Every psychological obstacle leaves clues on how to create genuine psychological safety so you can build genuine trusted relationships with your teams, your colleagues and your customers.


When you are present, demonstrate you care, and listen to the needs of others, you build trust.  The amount of trust you earn, reflects the depth of relationship you have, and amount time, money or energy someone is willing to invest in you.
 
Psychology of Trust is the science of communication, behaviours, emotions, thoughts and needs. 
This course teaches your leaders the specific psychological needs of different types of people, together with an easy step-by-step process to navigate psychological obstacles to build trusted, and valued relationships.

Transactional Analysis for business leaders.  Understand psychological needs, neurodiversity differences, trust building essentials, communciation patterns and behaviours, motivation.

The Solution...

Based on Transactional Analysis developed by Psychologist Dr Eric Berne, this course gives detailed insight into:

 

  • psychological needs 

  • neurodiversity differences 

  • trust-building essentials

  • engagement methods 

  • communication channels 

  • types of recognition, reward, and 

  • motivational drivers 

 

All of which will help to gain commitment, create buy-in, manage teams, and deliver results.

 

The course also demonstrates how to spot and avoid psychological games that can detract from the purpose, or sale in hand.  

 

At the start of the course, your trainer will elicit the challenges, problems and needs from participants; then use the content to help solve the challenges and problems live in the room to demonstrate the power and importance of the course content.
