1 to 1 Communication Diagnostic
You're not bad at communicating. Something is blocking you.
Find out exactly what it is, and exactly how to move past it, in one two-hour session.
Why start here
Three styles of expression run underneath everything you say.
In 10 years of teaching communication, I've seen the same pattern again and again. People tell me, "Smayan, I'm not confident" or "I'm bad at communication." Usually, that isn't true.
What's really happening is that they're uncomfortable with one or more of the three styles of expression.
Say description is the one you're uneasy with. You try to paint a picture, tell a story or give instructions, and the reaction you hoped for never comes. So you conclude you're bad at communicating, when really one style is quietly holding you back.
The first step is knowing which styles come naturally to you, and which ones are blocking you from communicating deeply.
What the session covers
Two hours. A complete communication profile.
We look at your current flow, your strengths and your weaknesses, and I show you how to improve each one.
Your styles of expression
How comfortable you are with description, logic and emotion, and which one you lean on when you're under pressure.
The four primal emotions
Which of anger, sadness, happiness and ominous you express easily, and which ones you avoid.
Ominous is the emotion behind horror, suspense and, therefore, great storytelling.
Your voice and your pauses
How comfortable you are playing with your voice, and how well you use silence to make your words land.
The diagnostic is one of two ways to begin Interpersonal Communication Coaching directly with me.
It's the most personal way in. Here's why:
- It shapes your program. I see where you are and what we need to work on, so I can design the module for the biggest lasting impact.
- You test the fit first. Before committing to 12 weeks, you find out whether you're comfortable with me and my teaching style, and what the work will ask of you.
- It's valuable on its own. If you decide not to continue, you still leave with a complete communication profile and the exact steps to improve in each area.
Prefer to start on your own? Complete the online Foundation Session instead. What you pay for it is credited towards the program fee.
