BULLSHIFT
Bullshift costs time, money and energy.
We need to get better at speaking – and hearing – the truth.
How robust are your people? Are they honest with you? Can you be honest with them?
In 2009, we cannot afford the bullshit. A tough economy and uncertain future make it more important than ever to see the truth and speak it.
In this presentation, Andrew explores some of the fourteen principles of his book, BULLSHIFT.
The aims are to:
- Be honest with yourself.
- Be honest with others.
- Encourage others to be honest with you.
The principles include: # Don’t be defensive – Be curious. # Don’t make excuses – Say what happened and take responsibility. # Don’t waffle – Use less words. # Don’t use corporate speak – Use real words.# Don’t mutter – Speak up. # Don’t express opinion as fact – Express perception as perception. # Don’t hide your judgments in jest – Say it straight or don’t say it.
These are seven of the fourteen principles in the book – all things you can do to cut the bullshit in your workplace today.
This presentation is hilarious and fun but also very provocative – it calls participants to make permanent changes to how they act and communicate.
And for a few dollars extra per head, your delegates can take home a copy of Andrew’s pocket-sized book, BULLSHIFT.
ADULTS ONLY WORKPLACE
If you’ve ever wanted to jump up at a meeting and say, “For God’s sake, can’t we just grow up and be adults about this!” … Then this workshop is for you.
Drawing on his new book LOSE THE TEENAGE FACE, Andrew explores thirteen teenage behaviours that tend to hang around adulthood – and how to change them in yourself and manage them in others.
The behaviours include: Whinging, Blaming, Sulking, Avoiding, Dramatising, Wishing, Reacting and Justifying.
Throw yourself courageously into leaving your adolescent self behind forever.
If you don’t enjoy the workshop, you can spit the dummy and storm out.
CHANGE THE CONVERSATION
Drawing on his work with state, federal and international police and with sales people, leaders, negotiators and others who live and die by their communication skills, Andrew has developed a comprehensive set of tools to increase your ability to influence – under the radar.
Like the tools of a surgeon or carpenter, each influencing tool has its specific value and use. The skill is in knowing how and when to apply them. This workshop will also test your AGILITY – the swiftness and ease with which you move between them.
