Group Wizardry - The Pre-Conference Workshop 2006
So much of what is available on communications deals with one-on-one communication. Yet if you stop and think about the contexts in which we interact with others, it's clear that there are many occasions when we are communicating at a group level, from the dinner table, to an office conversation, a conference call, and of course more formal 'presentations'. And anyone who is a member of a team at work will know how useful it could be to understand how to influence groups more effectively. A group exists anytime there are more than two people involved in an interaction. To understand how to be successful and effective in groups is one of the most important life skills that we can develop. In group communications, we are conditioned to believe that the words we speak and hear are the crucial parts of the interaction. Yet it is the non-verbal elements of group communications where the real dynamics are happening. When you understand non-verbal communication at its deepest level, it enables you to achieve so much more. Knowing how to engage effectively with others in the thousands of large or small group interactions that we experience in our lifetime is one of the greatest skills that we can master. When you make a presentation, either formally to a group or just getting your message across to colleagues or in your relationship - how believable are you? And how well do your non-verbals support your message? This day will benefit anyone who ever has to communicate with more than one person at a time! So often success depends very much on the ability to collaborate successfully with different individuals, groups and professional cultures. For business professionals
For coaches and consultants
