Usually we start either talking by phone or meeting in person for about thirty minutes to see if we are a good fit. When you are ready, we can choose from the variety of services described on this website, either singly or by package.
Pricing is determined by the level of the service, as well as the number of times we agree to work together. This could be a one-time basis or a series of meetings over a designated period of time. Monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually are popular choices. A year-long program including a variety of services suits many clients.

MEETING SKILLS
It is during a meeting with others that we must be most self-aware. Learning and practicing the basic principles of getting along with others while contributing to the meeting topic is an exercise in more than listening and speaking. Reflecting, analyzing, reporting, critiquing, encouraging, feeling and creating are just a few more ways we relate to people and what they say. Whether you are in a one-on-one conversation or are part of a team, and with a client, friend or family member, these skills will help you improve the quality of your interpersonal communication skills. Positive language, parallel thinking and the power of open questions will be practiced in a setting similar to actual interaction. Individuals | Groups
Communication
VERBAL/NON-VERBAL LANGUAGE AWARENESS
Knowing how to state your intention or expectation in a positive way sends a positive message with positive intent. When those words are synchronized with your body movements, you will convey a sincere message that will enable you to build rapport with whom you are "speaking". Posture and facial expressions, among other body language, either help you send an integrated message or a mixed message. Mutual purpose and respect will take you far when communicating with others that think differently than you. Individuals | Groups
PUBLIC SPEAKING ASSESSMENT
Engaging an audience is key when making presentations to colleagues, clients or any group of people. Is your presence one that invites others to be attentive to what you have to say? Projecting a presence that shows us who you are visually, socially, verbally and non-verbally allows others to focus on the meaning of your message rather than be distracted by your appearance, behavior and communication skills. We will assess these areas together, find methods to practice improvement and make recommendations based on the assessment we will discuss after observing you in a public speaking setting.
