What is a Communication Coach?

I'm on a mission to educate as many people as I can about what good communication actually is. I teach the basic skills needed to get more of what you actually want. The need for effective communication, in all its forms, is as important as ever, but few actually know how to do it.
I customize a program appropriate for your needs. With my 3-month program, I make weekly presentations or have weekly appointments to address the communication topics of most concern to you. Here is just a sampling of some of the topics I cover:
How to give and receive feedback
How to avoid being dismissive
The anatomy of an apology
How to ask for what you want
The importance of non-verbal communication
How to deal with emotionally draining people
How to keep from being thin-skinned and easily offended
How to avoid confusion by making your intentions/expectations clear
What taking responsibility looks like
How to make yourself heard and making sure others feel heard by you
How to eliminate destructive behaviors like comparing, complaining, and keeping score
The importance of managing your self-talk
How to communicate boundaries
How to minimize office gossip and other unhealthy practices
How to present a direct, concise message
I have seen firsthand the effects of poor communication. I see companies whose employees are so full of resentment and frustration that they spend more time arguing and vying for position than tending to the needs of their clients. I have been in offices where the tension and hostility make it uncomfortable for all who enter there. I see marriages and families so full of conflict and disrespect that scarcely anyone feels loved or valued. That is why learning to communicate effectively is so important. When we hone our communication skills, it benefits us in every single interaction we have, whether in business or in our personal lives.
