Professional & Personal Development Programs

Program A - Instant Persuasion™:
How to Change Your Words to Change Your Life

Based on her best-selling book, Laurie brings to life the concepts and ideas of Instant Persuasion. Nominated for Best Motivational Book of 2005, Instant Persuasion provides insights and skills that are timely and timeless. You will discover how to activate your innate power of persuasion and learn simple mediation tools to reduce conflict, win people over and get what you want with honesty and integrity. Laurie reveals how she uses the Instant Persuasion rules in her own conversations to result in her success. This program will give you the motivation and tools to change your words to change your life.

Program B - Be a Leader, Not a Boss

The word "boss" is just a label, but a "leader" is someone who makes things happen. Managers, administrators and executives cannot presume that their job titles give them authority. Instead, they must use their power of persuasion to win people over and earn the trust, confidence and respect of the people within and across their organization. Recognizing and using the right words that connect, motivate and inspire people enhances performance and productivity. Get ready to develop leadership skills to cultivate a top-notch support system and raise your team to the highest level.

Program C - You: The Mediator
Turn Conflict into a Conversation

This cutting-edge professional development program is for anyone who encounters conflict in the workplace. Using a three-step, easy-to-master process you will build personal credibility, diffuse conflict, ethically settle arguments and help to create a respectful, values-driven environment. Participants learn time-tested mediation skills through communication modeling, experiential exercises and instructor feedback. These empowering skills, tied to the Instant Persuasion™ Method, readily transfer to encounters in the workplace and in one’s personal life. Participants leave this program prepared with new knowledge and strategies to influence and motivate themselves and others toward greater performance, productivity and success.

Program D - Persuasive Communication for Attorneys: Practical Skills to Build Credibility and Enhance Your Practice
CLE APPROVED for Attorneys

Do you know that persuasion is happening all the time, not only in the courtroom? Every time you speak to a client, potential client or colleague you are instantly persuading that person to listen to or ignore you, respect or disrespect you and cooperate or argue with you. Once you learn to avoid the communication blunders that turn people off to you and use the communication wonders that create cooperation and win people over, you have positioned yourself for maximum success in the legal world.

Program E- Instant Persuasion™ for Realtors®:
Gain a Competitive Edge in Real Estate

The high achievers in sales are not necessarily smarter, richer or luckier than other salespeople; they are the people who learned how to use their power of persuasion to ethically win people over. Through insightful real-life anecdotes and empowering rules, you will learn to identify and avoid common "Communication Blunders" that create misunderstandings, conflicts and lawsuits, and replace them with "Communication Wonders" that win people over, increase client satisfaction and enhance your performance, productivity and profits in the world of real estate. As praised by Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz "Instant Persuasion is a must for anyone who wants to change minds-in other words, all of us."

Program F - Healthy Communication:
Mastering Patient-Centered Communication

A healthy relationship with a patient does not always require more communication, it requires better communication in the short time available. Physicians, dentists, nurses and other health care professionals can learn communication skills to reduce conflict, strengthen cooperation among the health care team, increase patient compliance, reduce the risk of malpractice lawsuits and improve patient satisfaction.

Program G - Persuasive Communication for Couples: Couples Conflict Resolution Training (CCRT)
Are you a looking for a speaker for a conference or program on self-improvement and personal relationship growth. If so, this program is the perfect fit!

We all learn how to be single in this world: how to stand up for ourselves and take care of ourselves. Those same skills often result in relationship conflict. Now it's time to learn how to be a couple. It's never too late to make the transition from me to we. If your relationship suffers through the silent treatment, regular fighting, feelings of disrespect or lack of appreciation, you and your mate will benefit from CCRT as you learn simple skills to turn overwhelming emotions into logical thinking and problems into solutions.
