Understanding And Dealing With Toxic Personalities In The Workplace
This presentation takes a look at and closely examines the four most common toxic personality types most disruptive to organizations. Joe examines their common traits, how to best identify them through their behavior, how to better understand them, and what can be done to deal with them if and when they become a problem.
Nonverbal Communications In Negotiations
Based on Joe’s lectures at the Harvard Business School over a decade, he explores how nonverbals factor in negotiations to establish trust, to create cooperation, to evince information, to establish order, and to garner greater acceptance. This is the skill set that is not taught at most business schools, but which can make a big difference in determining if there are issues or concerns, for establishing harmony, respect, greater collaboration, and empathetic understanding. This can be presented both as a keynote and as a two-hour breakout session.
The Power Of Nonverbal Communications
Nonverbal behaviors comprise approximately 60–80% of all interpersonal communication. They can reveal a person’s true thoughts, feelings, concerns, as well as intentions. And because people are not always aware they are communicating nonverbally, body language is often more honest than the spoken word. In this presentation, Joe Navarro, a world-leading expert on the applied use of nonverbal communication, will provide crucial insights into how to master nonverbal intelligence in business to assess and influence others.
Mastering Trustworthiness
Based on his international bestselling book Be Exceptional (harpercollins), Joe takes a powerfully insightful look at how exceptional individuals evoke trustworthiness and how that translates into changing perceptions and more effective leadership.
