Rock it by Talking It - Communication & Connection

The importance of inclusion, human connection and community

Any organization can include catchy phrases in their mission statement that talk about the importance of inclusion, human connection and community, but until they actively do something about it, those are just words on a website. I’m here to help those who have the guts to not just talk it, but rather are ready to walk it, and to ultimately rock it!”

  • Gain understanding of the science behind authentic human connection, and how it can positively influence workplace culture.
  • Discover how to practice inclusivity by creating meaningful connections between all employees regardless of race, religion and gender
  • Learn the skill of building personal relationships with the intention of increasing productivity, collaboration, innovation and overall morale.
Four Conversations for Success

Anyone can talk business. When was the last time you talked life? How do you feel when the guy behind the counter remembers your name? Why do people work hard for some managers and not others? Do your clients look forward to seeing you? What do you know about your customers that your competition doesn’t? Do you see them? They’re everywhere. That’s right, they are called people and if you don’t really know them, you’re just another company trying to survive.

 

The Choice – 5 Decisions All Winners Make

5 Decisions All Winners Make

Do you know why some companies are more successful than others? Here’s a hint. It has nothing to do with their people waking up earlier, working harder or having prestigious degrees. They simply make five decisions every single day. Do you know what they are? Don’t worry, Stuart Knight does, and he’ll inspire your team to make them. Warning: This will lead you to greater success.

Boycott what you Thought! Powerful conversations

You Should Have Asked
The Art of Powerful Conversation

Stuart wrote his first book entitled, You Should Have Asked – The Art Of Powerful Conversation after his friend Paul told him he should turn the workshop he was doing on the same subject into something people could read anywhere anytime.  Stuart didn’t think there would be that much demand, but after being pressed on it for about a year, he finally wrote it.  It’s now a national best seller.  When you are ready to boycott what you thought about human relationships and start connecting in a way that will dramatically improve your physical and mental health, look no further
