Areas of Sandra Zimmer Communication Skills Coaching:

• Presence - Learn techniques that create relaxation, presence of mind, and the calm strength of a leader. Being present slows you down so you can focus your attention, think clearly, and receive another's message.
• Connection and Chemistry - Learn to make genuine connection with others through non-verbal connection that creates a sense of rapport. Learn to establish chemistry through the art of receiving another person with acceptance.
• Listening for the Emotional Message - Temporarily set aside your own agenda and give others permission and psychological space to express their views and concerns. Understanding their position will help increase your ability to influence the outcome.
• Persuasion - Persuasion happens when the listener stops thinking about what you are going to get from him and becomes excited about what you can give to him. Learn the steps for holding a persuasive conversation that help you direct the conversation for a positive outcome.
• Interview - An interview for employment or media requires an authentic response that shows your best self. Learn to interview well by relaxing, listening, engaging with the interviewer and formulating an answer that expresses your highest thoughts.
• Group Facilitation - Learn to direct productive meetings in a manner that generates trust and empowers group participants. Group facilitation is a way of being present with a group that makes it safe for each participant to give their ideas, insights and expertise.
• Think on your Feet to Say a Few Words - Learn how to be prepared to speak when you are not prepared to speak. Develop your unique message template that allows you to share your thoughts spontaneously when you have to communicate off the cuff and in the moment. Use your message template to deliver ideas for which you want to be known.
• Confrontation - Confront means "to face together." Learn to face difficult situations with another person rather than confronting that person. Instead of blaming, learn to collaborate so the outcome is for the good of all.
