But it doesn’t happen automatially because…
Realistically… how are people supposed to learn how to communicate effectively?
When is anyone taught how to communicate?
For most people, the answer is”never”.
Not from our parents… not in grade school… not in high school… and not even in college or university.
Even business communication classes don’t give you practical skills you need to succeed in today’s ultra- competitive workplace.
So, what can you do?
Fortunately, there are easy-to-learn and easy-to-use step by step systems, methods, and frameworks you can learn and follow to communicate effectively even if you have struggled your entire life.
These strategies don’t eliminate the people aspects of communication and relationships, they just take away the mystery and leave the good parts.
And if you’re already a good communicator, you can be even better… fast.
HOW PAUL CAN HELP YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATION
Simple, Step-By-Step, Proven Methods Give You Fast Results
Some people are natural communicators – but I’m not. And… if you are reading this, you might not be a naturally gifted communicator either.
I’m a communication challenged computer programmer who started several companies and I’ve struggled all of my life to be understood and understand others.
So… I decided to study the best communicators of all time, learn their methods, and use these methods to my benefit.
Here’s my conclusion after almost twenty years of study:
People Are Like Cars
While they have different sizes, shapes, colors, and body styles, they still operate basically the same.
This means that once you learn the pricinples of effective communication, the principles work for everyone.
I’ve condensed everything I’ve learned about effective communication into step-by-step frameworks that anyone can learn – and I’ll teach these methods to you and your staff.
Not only will you learn the steps, you will also understand the principles underlying them so you know why they work and can apply them to a wide variety of situations.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT PAUL
It was clear that Paul’s materials were well developed from a content and presentation perspective. However, the defining factor was being able to reach him via voice for a brief conversation to discuss an introductory activity that generated further interest and created immediate value.
This was far more relevant and meaningful for our global team than commonly recommended ice breakers and virtual activities
Thanks again for the tools you provided at our shareholders meeting. I’m noticing that we are regularly trying to employ better listening techniques…and everyone is still trying to figure out how to make the “neutral” positions for listening a more natural part of our conversations.
It’s challenging to adapt, but it’s an effective strategy. I’m happy to see everyone making a conscientious effort to actively listen (including me).
The Communication Styles workshop was rated the highest component of our training program.
Our attendees felt the awareness and insight to their own communication styles and how they interact with others was extremely valuable for their continued success… their only complaint was that they needed more time with Paul to explore using their results in everyday interactions.
Many courses deliver content. This was the first short course I’ve ever taken where the material was delivered so well and so convincingly.
The effort you have put into preparing and delivering this material is more than I can comprehend right now. The timing, staging, cadence.
Paul, your consideration of the audience demonstrates how effective these tools can be, and in the process of this demonstration introduced some of the most powerful skills I have ever learned about. This course and your delivery is nothing short of masterful.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU COMMUNICATE BETTER
Effective Communication Training Customized To Your Needs
Effective Communication Keynotes
This format is perfect for larger groups and uses teaching and story-telling with a limited amount of audience interaction to set the tone for an event.
During the keynote, I will introduce your group to some of the reasons why effective communication is the most sought after (and hardest to find) skill in the business world, and provide two or three specific suggestions that each person can put to use right away to become a more effective communicator before they leave the room.
Effective Communication Workshops
Without a doubt this is my favorite format because it allows for highly customized interaction with the participants. In each workshop I teach step-by-step frameworks to make everyone better communicators and we solve specific individual and group communication problems.
During my communication training workshops, we make extensive use of individual and group surveys, assessments, templates, and exercises to make sure everyone has practice using the learnings before they return to work. This makes it highly likely that the strategies will be put to use rather than reverting to existing patterns under pressure.
Note: we never do role playing because pretending to be someone else is not an effective learning method.
Effective Communication Webinars
A webinar is a cost effective and fast way of teaching a new communication strategy to a group.
My most popular webinar pairs my Communication Styles 2.0 assessment and Personal Insight report with a webinar that teaches the group how to understand their natural communication tendencies and the tendencies of those they work with and then how to adapt and adjust to be more effective with each other.
Other standard and customized webinars are available to help everyone in your group become more effective communicators.
Effective Communication Consulting and Coaching
Individual or group coaching and consulting is available on a very limited basis.
A typical coaching engagement begins by discussing a particular issue, problem, or situation and expands to include other opportunities and challenges – many of which may not be directly related to effective communication.
Hi Paul I hope this email finds you well! I just wanted to reach out and to say thank you for all of the work that you did with me last year. I am a better leader because of you, have learned to “pause” and have become better at asking questions in order to get to where I need to go. It was this time last year that you took me on as a client and were so supportive. I am grateful, thank you.
Warm Regards,
