Speak well, with anyone, at anytime, anywhere...?

Everyday we communicate messages in various forms to people we want to receive them.  Although more and more, these conversations are happening virtually, I believe the gold standard remains face-to-face interactions.  If you want to raise your professional or personal communication game to higher level, I highly recommend you consider attending a training by Own the Room.  

A couple of years ago, I was invited to attend a session.  So, I checked out their video on YouTube and admit the claim that I could speak to anyone, at anytime about any topic fearlessly had me hooked.  Their methodology seemed innovative enough but I still had my doubts worrying it would be a big waste of time.  I was way too busy to spend my precious time listening to someone tell me how to do what I do every day (and pretty darn well, or so I thought at the time.)   

I was wrong.  That training was one of the single most worthwhile sessions I have ever attended and here is what amazes me...I still remember and use Own the Room techniques I learned to this very day!  How many times have you left a workshop, seminar or conference excited about some new tool or resource or strategy you've discovered and then promptly forgotten it all a file, bag, box or drawer somewhere? Right along with your name tag and folder full of notes, right?  This time,  that didn't happen.  I put many of Own the Room's powerfully effective, common sense and easy to implement tricks and tips to use...immediately.  

But that's not even the most amazing part.  Typically, they offer these sessions for hundreds of dollars per day.  What's even more amazing is that I got to take advantage of the finest interpersonal communication training in all the land for...wait for it...FREE. Nada. nothing. zilch. Yes, it cost me zero dollars.  I attended a special session for non-profits and students to gain these techniques through their Own the Room Gives Back initiative.  And guess what? They're doing it again!  Friday, August 28th and Saturday, August 29th in NYC and you can register here.  

So, if better communications is one of your goals, please take advantage of this truly phenomenal offering.  No, I don't work for the company.  And I am not getting paid anything for this. I just honestly feel they are currently the best at showing people how to deliver a clear, compelling message in fun, smart and engaging ways.  If you get to go, tell me how it went.  Oh!...and you're welcome.
