Our Signature Classes

This training explores the importance of creating inclusive spaces by giving students a foundation of understanding in 2SLGBTQIA+ awareness. Jamie will start by covering key concepts including language and definitions, the difference between sexual orientation and gender and gender expression, and how to use inclusive language. Students will also be given a brief history of important dates and movements in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and how this knowledge helps increase cultural competence in the workplace. Finally, participants will put all of this together and discover new ways to build inclusive cultures at work.

This course will combine the evidence-based practices of interpersonal neurobiology with integral communication models such as Non-Violent Communication (NVC) and Motivational Interviewing to teach participants respectful, collaborative communication strategies. This systemic approach teaches the communicator how to utilize both empathetic listening and needs acknowledgment, and how to open the door to behavior modification requests and/or generate greater sales. The participant will learn how to listen effectively, discover limiting beliefs, dispel labels, define what the window of somatic tolerance is, investigate the difference between impact and intention, and more. This course will ultimately enhance every participant’s idea of what it means to be heard and respected and how to powerfully communicate through the identification of core needs.

There are four distinct learning and communication styles and when we understand this and are skilled at shifting approaches depending on our audience, the results are dramatically improved. This is a diversity issue and the course is based on neurobiology, specifically the brain science behind how people talk, and listen and it impacts how they receive what we are trying to say. It impacts the effectiveness of our meetings, one-on-ones, and those quick moments at the water cooler. All of these things help or hinder our success, time management, and workplace culture.

Participants will learn how to immediately identify the learning and communication style of the person or people they are talking to so they can meet that person where they are by shifting their language in small, subtle ways. Jamie has taught thousands of learners this simple technique that they were able to apply immediately and he has heard from hundreds of past participants how this course has improved their relationships at home and in the workplace.
