Masterclass 1:
Title: Understanding Communication Styles
People that connect with others prosper. Those that don’t, struggle.
Do you know your communication style? iMA is an exciting universal language that is designed to maximise connectivity. Everyone speaks 1 of 4 iMA dialects, putting you on the same wavelength as 25% of people that look at and filter the world through your eyes and ears. It also means that the majority of people are on a different wavelength than you. iMA helps you connect with people on a different wavelength, increasing likability, trust, communication and understanding, and reducing stress and tension.
Learnings include:
You can improve your connectivity with your Clients, Work Colleagues, Managers and Peers by completing the 1 minute iMA Questionnaire. It will:
- Identify your preferred communication style
- Be a catalyst for discussions about strengths and differences
- Provide insights into improving your performance
- Gain insights into new strategies to interact, to create connectivity and to avoid the behaviours that destroy it
The Facilitator:
Our very own Network Manager, Therese O Connor is the facilitator of this workshop. With over 25 years of management experience within the fast paced service sector, Therese firmly believes that being a good leader derives from effective communication. This belief has led Therese to train as a NLP Practitioner and iMA Facilitator, both skills she uses on a daily basis to lead and drive forward.
