Method
The brain and mind are two of the most understudied areas in science yet they are providing some of the most important breakthroughs in science.
I apply the state of the art in neuroscience to manage real life situations.
Neuroscience
State of the Art
When talking about persuasion and conflict we are dealing with humans, and that makes influence, persuasion and seduction an art.
Let me share you what the most important Classics have said. Past geniuses have taught us underlying premises that still apply today.
Theory
The Classics
As an art, no one can be an perfect speaker, negotiator or manager, but practice allows you to be able to become a Master.
With several exercises and practices, you will be more comfortable and aware in your next negotiation, debate or conflict.
Practice
Dexterity
Critical Thinking Training
What?
Developing critical thinking skills is as important as developing technical skills and I want to help organizations develop an environment of critical thinking.
Problems organizations face
Why?
Discussions and debates take more time than they should when members and employees are conflict-adverse or when rules for debates and discussions are not the best.
Bad discussions lead to misjudgements, strategic mistakes and rushed -or late- decisions.
Painful discussions
Organizations need to analyse better
Organizations that do not welcome debate discard good ideas and choose bad ones without critical analysis. This means losing to the competition and having unnecessary conflict.
Companies need to be foster an organizational culture that embraces conflict and dissent.
Lack of trust
Employees need to be confident
Some organizations might have the most technically apt or competent members but if they do constantly engage on critical thinking exercises. they will have lower self-esteem.
Low self-esteem and self-confidence can be avoided if members practice critical thinking exercises.
Lack of confidence
Lower conversions
Solutions
