Courses

Classes:

4 Layers of Communication

This is one of Annie's most popular courses because the 4 layers of communication are relevant to everyone.  They can be applied to Problem Solving, Conflict Resolution, Transition Management, Coaching and every other situation that involves communication.

The basic message of the course is that all communication is driven by four core statements:

1.  "I want what I want"

2.  "I want what you want"

3.  "We want each other wants"

4.  "We want what is in the highest good"

When we are able to identify from which layer we are speaking (and why), we can become free of reaction.  The goal is not perfection, but awareness and the ability to respond to others in a way that will allow more trust, more clarity and ultimately more satisfaction in the process and the outcomes of communication.
 
This course is especially helpful to managers who avoid addressing performance issues or who wish to recognize great performance in a way that is meaningful to their employees.
 

Change / Transition Management

What do most people do when something about their job changes without their consent?  Panic!  Get angry!  Sabotage the new!

Is that what we want?  Of course not!

In this course, Annie explains why negative reactions are normal (yes, normal) and how you can help your employees move beyond their initial reactions and engage with the new.

Customer Reviews

Customer Reviews:

"Dr. Annie has led team building sessions with the staff in two of my clinics: a large, main clinic and a satellite clinic that is located in another town.  Those sessions were very beneficial to us from the start.  Dr. Annie did a great job facilitating discussions and reflections with the staff.  I've already seen our employees using some of the tools she taught and I hope to have Dr. Annie join us several more times to continue on our road to excellent communication and team work.  Thanks for having a resource available to us as good as Dr. Annie!"  ~ Healthcare administrator

“Did you know that when you were on stage, the audience not only heard you, they felt you?  You engaged us by allowing us to see hope and to believe in our ability to make changes happen.” ~ University professor

“Your enthusiasm is contagious!  It is obvious you really believe in what you teach.” ~ Sales professional

“I can see that my business relationships will improve, but even more, I can see how my relationship with my spouse and children can improve if I apply what I have learned today.” ~ IT manager

“Great time management and flow of activities.” ~ Healthcare leader

"I am utilizing Dr. Annie as an executive coach while I support my organization through a major transition.  Dr. Annie has been a great support and has offered some really good information to help me help my team in a positive way.  Change is stressful; Dr. Annie is helping me to understand how to minimize the stress so my staff can feel confident and maintain their excellent service." ~ Senior leader

"My husband and I own and manage a small business.  We hired Dr. Annie in the hope of bridging some gaps in our communication and increasing productivity in our business.  It was an amazing experience working with Dr. Annie for two days.  Amazing because in a few short hours, she broke through barriers that had been in place for literally over a decade.  Her approach is fun-loving and gentle, yet organized and strong.  She brought new systems to our workplace that were both academic and intuitive.  We have used and will continue to use the tools Dr. Annie gave us; they bring openness to our relationships, both personally and professionally." ~ Small business owner
