Surrounded by Idiots? Here's How to Get Rid of Them
Have you ever argued with your partner and felt like your words and feelings did not get understood? Ever had a colleague you don’t get along with, regardless of how accommodating you are?
In this lecture, Thomas Erikson helps you understand those incomprehensible situations, conversations, and people. Just because we’re all different doesn’t mean we can’t function together in both social and professional situations. Thomas wants to help you manage the people you don’t get along with, but he also wants you to leave the lecture with a heightened self-awareness regarding your own behavior and what it communicates beyond your words.
With the help of models from the world of behavioral science, Thomas’s own experiences and a dash of humor will give you and your organization an introduction to how to think, get through, and get results with behavioral archetypes. Thomas wants you to be able to take his lessons beyond the lecture and use them at home, in the office, or while you mingle.
The lecture can be customized to fit the specific needs of your organization and shift focus on e.g. leadership, sales, service, customer relations, conflict resolution, etc.
