Executive testimonials after learning with Dr. Andrea

References

  • “ Dr. Andrea has a communication style that can make even the most complex issues understandable, and can build teams and trust at the highest level. Her business knowledge and broad industry network are invaluable, and she can lead discussions from the front when required, however more often she will guide groups to reach the right answers under their own direction, therefore increasing their confidence and personal awareness. Her enthusiasm for life, coupled with a natural sense of fun can enable people to reach heights that they never thought they could. ”
    — David Cochrane,Chief Executive at Hospitality Industry Trust, Scotland

Because you know you need it, you want it! ”

The Stats - The staggering costs of effective and efficient communication:

  • Companies with leaders who are highly effective communicators have 47% higher total returns to shareholders (Holmes Report, 2011). And good communication has been cited as the single most important thing when it comes to successful business.
  • Miscommunication costs companies of 1,000 employees an average of $4,200,000 and 150,000 lost hours per year (Rogen International, 2012).
  • IT projects often fail because organizations put more emphasis on rational factors than on employees' psychological engagement, costing U.S. organizations 5-15% or $50-$150 billion per year (Gallup, 2012).

testimonials

  • “ Dr. Andrea has done a wonderful job of dealing with what are usually classed as "the difficult ones" (getting 12 senior hospitality executives in one room is hard enough, but to command their attention in a classroom for four days is incredible). The constant feedback in the classroom and out was incredible. She made a massive (positive) impact. ”
    — John Bradley, Regional General Manager, Imperial London Hotels, UK
  • “ The most important lesson I took from Dr. Andrea is to listen and try to understand without jumping in with my answer, as managers need to find the answer themselves. This has contributed to a positive work culture and atmosphere of confidence, where all staff are interested in and support each other. It’s not just me who has benefitted, the whole team have! ”
    — Brian Galbraith, Managing Director, Hickory Event Catering, Edinburgh, Scotland

I plan to spend much more time looking at the motivators and dynamics of the people involved, and what feelings might be generated by the conversation.

She then relates how you can use this knowledge to better achieve your goals and create better unity within your organization. ”
    — Brett Davidge, General Manager, Apex City Quay, Dundee, Scotland, UK
relaxingpicTake a moment to imagine…

You’ve provided excellent training, so why doesn’t the team get it, do it, or emulate it? Most trainings don’t work! Why? You cannot just train as individuals must turn that knowledge into action. Most employees, regardless of level, don’t know how nor are they skilled or trained to take action. This isn’t merely telling someone to be nicer, change their attitude, or a mandate ‘you must get along’. Knowledge without action goes nowhere, and knowledge without methods to take action are simply money wasted on training. Imagine if you could have a team with reduced stress, greater confidence and comfort, less time spent in meetings, and more time spent productively?
