Description
People Skills - How People Tick & How To Read Them Instantly
The success or otherwise of any interaction in life comes down to your people skills. If you can understand what a person is thinking and feeling, then you can help them feel relaxed, welcome, and ultimately trust you.
So, if you are around people whether at work, socially – or even in your family, then this is the course for you.
Andy Edwards is an international speaker and widely published author, who's been teaching business and relationship skills for more than 25 years. He's spoken to audiences all over the world (in person and online) and has an entertaining, practical teaching style. This course is guaranteed to keep you engaged, fascinated – and even amused, and will teach you life-changing skills to transform your business and personal life.
The course covers self-awareness:
why you behave in the way you do
how relationships develop
what to look out for when you first meet someone.
We also take a look at what psychometrics are based on:
the underpinning psychology
why perception isn’t reality
good day vs bad day behaviours
We move on to how you can read and understand others by checking just three elements of their behaviour:
body language
tone of voice
vocal patterns and words used
You will also learn how we can use psychometrics to:
adapt our behaviour to any situation
connect with others by learning and keeping in mind their ‘Motto’
communicate with and influence others like never before
By the end of the course…
… you will be able to anticipate others’ decision-making processes, their likely responses to your questions – their wants, their needs, their motivations, and their preferences.
You will know how to consciously adapt your behaviour and your own communication style to suit that interaction. The other person will walk away from a meeting you with an unconscious (or perhaps even conscious) sense of connection with you...
· “What a nice guy.”
· “She’s having a good day today!”
· “She seems a trustworthy person.”
· “He made me feel really comfortable.”
· “It seems like I have known them for years!”
If it’s better business results that you’re after, then psychometrics could be your route to success. Why? Well, we all know that people buy people; so, when it comes to the true currency of a business, ‘Relationships’ not ‘Money’ takes precedence. In which case, it makes sense to help people get to know you, like you and trust you. With psychometrics, this becomes a simple – yet incredibly powerful process.
If you like the idea of finding out more about yourself and others… and you want to know a few answers to the question: “What makes people tick…?” Then let’s get started as soon as possible.
Who this course is for:
- Those who work with people on a daily basis whether internally or with customers/suppliers
- Anyone looking for practical and applicable personality trait techniques to use in daily life
- People who are good people watchers!
- Students who have worked with psychometrics in the past - and would like a refresher
- Not suitable for those wanting an advanced academic qualification in psychology
