• But companies ranked in the top 25% of negotiation capabilities
posted an average increase in net income of 42.5%.

authentic selves.

more effectively to get results through others

presentations

neurobiology, and their proven tools and practical experience to help individuals and
teams deepen and hone their communication and personal presence skills.

● Preparation for both stage and on-camera presentations, speeches, and interviews
● 1:1 Follow-up to reflect on performance, provide feedback, and strengthen skills
● Story development, both personal and professional, for presentations
● Rehearsals to alleviate “stage fright” and anxiety
“It usually takes me three
weeks to prepare a good
spontaneous performance.”

12. Executive Coaching and Emotional Acumen
Our Chief Science Officer, Jim Coan, has conducted award-winning research on how
nonverbal clues can predict whether communication between individuals is succeeding or
failing. Malcolm Gladwell featured this research in the book Blink.
Our STARR workshop teaches leaders and teams to detect subtle signs of emotion in others,
and to respond effectively -- rather than reacting in common but unhelpful ways. Research
suggests that teams who are better at reading one another’s feelings have a higher problem
solving IQ than even the smartest member of the team.
Our Executive Coaching helps you identify challenging situations, emotions, or patterns of
behavior, to develop strategies and tactics for:
Unlocking your “best self” under stress
Influencing others, with and without authority
Communicating for impact for a critical audience
Making better decisions in complex environments.
