Monthly Self-leadership Challenge…
This is a section dedicated to challenging you to become a more complete self-leader and professional that exudes passion and performance.
This Month's Challenge:
Learning how to give constructive feedback effectively:
First, start the communication with a positive positioning statement such as: "I have enjoyed working with you and enjoy your contribution to the team". Only state something that you truly believe to be
the case.
Second, then point out your constructive feedback option. For example; "Lately I have noticed that you have been coming to work later than the rest of the team and that disappoints me".
Third, outline how you want the situation to improve such as: "I would appreciate it if you could address this situation and be on time for work like the rest of the team".
Finally, the real skill with this is to ensure that you do not join any of the sections with the words "but" or "however" as this immediately discounts the integrity of the first statement. Practice this approach so that you
can become well practiced in the art of giving constructive feedback without turning the receiver against you.

""The Art of Straight Talk"
(Communication Skills): Overview:
The ability to communicate effectively is without doubt, one of the most necessary life and business skills required to fulfil your goals and aspirations. Great communication skills are the very essence of your personality and impact on your ability to develop relationships both in business and personally.
Designed for:
Individuals, team leaders, managers, supervisors and self-leaders responsible for creating and building synergistic teams and individuals in any life or business endeavour. Suitable also for any individual focused on continuous improvement and committed to building stronger partnerships both in business and personally.
Content:
The program discusses a basic communication model as well as providing an insight into the ten "fundamental" communication skills and techniques that form the basis of what we say in our everyday life. As you are aware all life is based on relationships in the teams that make up your existence. Communication, whether internal or external, is the bonding agent-or system-used to develop our relationships.
Effective, positive communication therefore builds, strengthens and creates a life of abundant well-being.
How important is communication? As important as life itself, for it is indeed the very essence of life!

Recent Testimonials...
Dear Richard,
It really works!
Thankyou for your course on Stress Management, which I attended in early March. I was the one with the phobia of snakes! You told us we had to
apply your skills religiously for one month and our lives would be changed.
At first I found it hard and inwardly rejected a changed approach. But after a couple of the usual crises that are regular in my work environment, I became determined to give it a go.
And I would say my life has definitely changed!
The people I work with have noticed my more relaxed attitude and respond by also taking a more calm approach when they see how I am dealing with situations.
Explaining the rationale of a stress free approach to others reinforces your own outlook also. Likewise in my home life, my whole family has noticed my new approach and similarly flowed on to a new carefree, happy and fullfilling life.
Thankyou.
Most of what you said in the course I have read in self help books, but it was coming to your seminar that has made the difference! Keep up the good work.
