Unlike coaching, training involves training abilities and skills, as the name implies. Here I’ll pass on specific techniques to improve quick-wittedness, leadership or sales expertise, conversational skills, and rhetoric.
Training can also consist of practising what is worked out in coaching.
This leads to confidence in practice.
Quick-wittedness (reacting to personal attacks and insults, dealing with dim-witted patter, abusive comments, and killer phrases, as well as ‘bumper-sticker wisdom’ or conspiracy theories)
Difficult conversations (dealing with disrespectful, angry, dismissive people in conversations, reacting to negativity, passivity, or rejection)
Executive staff training (clarity of roles, clarity in appearances and communication, power of persuasion, and credibility)
Employee reviews (feedback, criticism, dismissal discussions)
Holding meetings efficiently (results orientation, moderation techniques, dealing with disruptions or people who talk too much)
Rhetoric training (appearance, talking, lecturing, presentations, storytelling)
Election campaign training (podium discussions, election events, door-to-door campaigning)
Media training (interviews, talk shows, press conferences)
Sales training (solution selling, customer orientation, dealing with objections and pretexts as well as resistance and blockades)
Negotiation techniques (preparation, assertiveness, win-win situations)
Do you need short-term support – ‘preferably today’ – before appearing before the media, a difficult conversation, a negotiation, or a meeting?
