The MOST Valuable Communication Training You'll Have in Your Career

Challenging conversations offer a gateway to progress, yet too many of us dodge or deflect these discussions, in part, because we've not been trained on the tools and approaches essential for navigating these important situations.

If you deal with people in any capacity–whether you're a manager, an executive, an educator, in the government sector or you're just starting out in your career, you can probably relate:

  • Maybe your days are filled with knife-cutting tension with a difficult boss or co-worker and you want to learn how to effectively deal with difficult people.
  • Maybe you want to increase your confidence and assert yourself when it comes to presenting to executives and getting your message across.
  • Maybe you want to “Stop Dreading Mondays” (and Sunday nights!) by learning to prioritize and engage in challenging conversations instead of letting them rent space in your mind.
  • Maybe you want to stop avoiding giving feedback that is needed to change things for the better.
  • Maybe you want to find a way to grow your influence and move forward (and upward) in your career!
  • You want to become a great communicator that is trusted and credible.

Everything important that happens in organizations, from job interviews to leading change, proposing new investments, delivering performance feedback and so on, is an outcome of one or more challenging conversations. But, if they're so powerful, why do most of us struggle to have those difficult conversations?

Sure, there are books, blogs and trainings about communication that will give you abstract concepts and frameworks that only fit into predictable scenerios. But, as we all know, humans are unpredictable and no two scenerios are quite the same.

What if, you were instead taught universal communication skills that you could apply and use to navigate any scenerio you find youself in, whether it's giving feedback, asking for a raise or addressing difficult people?

I have been an executive and emerging leadership coach for a long time, and the #1 issue that I hear from my clients stems from communication.

If you're like 99% of professionals and executives, you probably feel frustrated that your communication skills and consequent outcomes are not what you want them to be.

Well, I'm here to change that! I want to show you how you can amp up your communication skills to engage, empathize, ask, present, and finally work with people to design solutions, no matter the situation.

I've boiled down the very best of my years of expertise into a simple, step by step training.

The Crushing It course was head and shoulders above many of the popular online professional development courses I've taken. The production quality was excellent and the content is powerful, practical, and something that will help everyone immediately!

Beth L.
Vice-President

I loved the entire program, but the part of this course that was a game-changer for me was how to survive and succeed in challenging workplace confrontations. I would regularly withdraw in those situations and now I'm able to engage constructively and succeed in the moment, no matter the circumstances.

Andrew R.
Senior developer at Company LLC.

I used to avoid tough feedback discussions. Thanks to Art and Laura (I took the live and online versions of this course), I'm now "crushing" my feedback discussions with confidence!

Erica L.
Project Manager

I was a coaching client of Art's and he recommended this course for the content on succeeding with workplace negotiation. He calls it "positive persuasion." That content and the approaches and tools he offers for working through differences of perspective in the workplace and creating value for everyone involved is fabulous!

Sarah F.
Senior Practice Lead

Art exposed me to this content with an emphasis on message mapping. I used it immediately with my team and it literally changed the way we talk about projects now.
