Rachel Green is a wonderful person. I really enjoyed her emotional intelligence workshop, she was fun and bubbly and the content of the course was spot on to our needs. Not one minute of the course was boring; I think that all staff should attend this workshop.

Just some of the many positive comments made by staff and collected by Louise Delport, Customer Service Co-ordinator, City of Bunbury, June 2007.

When I entered the room I was negative about being there but I've left the "How to keep your cool" course with confidence and a new approach to both my home and work environments. I have never stayed so alert and interested in a course as much as I have in this one. You have made a real difference to my life.
Paula, Finance, Town of Kwinana.

"The course was incredibly beneficial. The strategies you covered to avoid 'picking up' others' negativity really hit home with me, not only on a professional level, but on a personal level too. As a result of this I went home and resolved an on-going issue we have been struggling with for the last 4 months. Thank you so much for changing my perspective, whilst making it so simple to achieve."

EI 6: What every Executive needs to know about applying Emotional Intelligence in their organisation

Emotional Intelligence underlies effective leadership, whether you like it or not emotional intelligence makes a difference in the workplace.

Research at Swinburne University, in Melbourne, by Dr Ben Palmer and Professor Con Stough, has shown that Emotional Intelligence accounts for 36% of the variance in Australian leadership success, in contrast to just 20-25% accounted for by IQ.

Are your levels of emotional intelligence high enough? You may not know, but your staff will, and your clients, and your shareholders.

Emotions matter. Emotions dictate the behaviour of your staff, your peers, your executive and your board. Emotions also impact on decision making, memory, problem solving, creativity, sales, persuasion, negotiation, job satisfaction and more.

You can no longer afford not to know about it.

You can't afford to be in the office or Board room without it. The higher your emotional intelligence the more likely you are to be a successful leader and manager.

Emotional intelligence does not replace cognitive intelligence it is an additional piece in the jigsaw of your potential and your success.

In this seminar, or seminar series, you and your Executive and senior management team can discover the relevance of Emotional Intelligence to the success of your organisation and how to master the most important Emotional Intelligence skills.

There are seven key areas you could learn about, at a practical level, in the running of your organisation, in your own self management, and in the management of staff:

o

Emotional self-awareness

o

Emotional expression

o

Emotional awareness of others

o

Emotional reasoning

o

Emotional self-management

o

Emotional management of others, and

o

Emotional self-control.


Knowledge on its own does not change behaviour.

Knowledge on its own does not change behaviour. Knowledge plus emotions do. If you think information is all you have to give your staff or clients or stakeholders then you are wrong. The evidence is all around you.

If people only needed information to change their behaviour no-one in Australia would smoke, speed or drink excessive amounts of alcohol, and everyone would be taking regular exercise, avoiding high fat food and getting 8 hours sleep a night!

We all know this is what is meant to be good for us but most of us don't do it. Ask yourself why? It's because knowledge on its own does not change behaviour. Knowledge plus emotions do.

If you want to succeed you can no longer afford not to know about emotional intelligence, can you?

Presentation Skills Training - How to always impress your audience

Tailor-made presentation skills and public speaking courses or seminars

The important factor about this training is that it is tailor-made to your presentations, your material, your key points, your skill levels and your audiences.

This training is not your standard presentation training.

o

I can come in and evaluate your current power-points and hard-copy materials and suggest improvements.

o

I can watch DVDs of your people presenting and provide coaching and refinements.

o

I can objectively review your presentation material as an outsider and see things that you may have missed.

o

o

How not to be intimidated by your audience or the person you are talking to so you stay fully present.

o

Managing your mind to increase your presence.

o

o

The body language of confidence.

o

How to give instructions so your audience will do what you want.

o

The difference between seducing from the stage and having a presence!





What others have said about our presentation skills training and courses:

I was at your "How to make Your Presentations Interesting" seminar this morning, and I must say that your presentation was a good advertisement in itself - it was interesting indeed! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and this was probably the best presentation I have seen to date in terms of learned value/time spent. (And probably the only one where I didn't dose off, not even momentarily!) (If I had a dollar for every lecture I fell asleep in, I'd be very wealthy, retired on my own Pacific island... pina coladas...) Thank you very much. I'll highly recommend your seminar to anyone who is serious about their presentations.
Charles Hanich, University of Western Australia, 19th March 2008

I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the "Persuasive Presentations" workshop at Landgate very much and learned a lot. It was varied, it was punchy, it was fun - great to see you living your message to us!
Matthew Myles, Business Manager, Valuation Services, Landgate, August 2007.

We have been so inspired by the skills we learnt from you in our in-house presentation skills course that we have thrown away the old prison officer's boring power point presentation and have produced a new one.
Ian Cox, Senior Investigating Officer, WA Ombudsman's Office. April 2006.

Your presentation skills course had a great impact on me. I went into my next presentation with excitement for the first time EVER. Feedback was very good. Thank you for making a difference in my life.
Laurie Lehmann, Guardian, Office of the Public Advocate. Dec 2004.
