The Orderly Conversation: Part 2

In Part 2 of this episode, Dale and Greg discuss the methodology and guiding principles behind their work and the benefits their clients gain after employees participate in a Turpin workshop. 

Sophisticated buyers understand they are not buying a commodity and that growing self-awareness and improving communication requires a nuanced approach. 

Key concepts in this episode include

• The Orderly Conversation, what it is, and how it affects every element of business communication.
• Everyone has a Default Approach, which informs how they prepare for and deliver presentations. 
• Ted talks and Public Speaking 101 create trouble for business presenters when they treat presentations in the same way.
• Nuanced coaching leads to self-awareness.
• Nervousness can be managed by improving one’s degree of engagement. 
• Three guiding principles, one of which is the Orderly Conversation, play a role in helping people improve their communication. 
• Improving one’s communication by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of your communication can help you grow your career.
• There are dangers of commodity thinking when it comes to buying communication training. 
• Tailoring training to each organization, team, and individual is necessary for long-term improvement. 
• Skill-reinforcement and manager support play big roles in making sure training sticks and is applied back on the job.
