SHORT LEARNING MODULES $500 - $700 / module

Learning Objective: Participants learn how to solve pervasive communication challenges by reframing language as a technology.
Learning Objective: Participants learn how to have more productive meetings by exploring the three functions of meetings and their linguistic structure: Planning (future), Reporting (past), and Problem-Solving (present).
Learning Objective: Participants learn how to identify and mitigate the three linguistic features of conflict talk: Normal sentence structure while disagreeing (reversing syntactic preference structure), Stealing and repeating phrases (co-opted language), and Expressing strong feelings (markers of subjective stance).
Learning Objective: Participants will learn (1) how to define collaboration based on different linguistic patterns, (2) the parts of collaboration that tend to cause breakdown and miscommunication, and (3) strategies for optimizing team collaboration.
Learning Objective: Participants will learn how leaders actually lead in real time be examining the three functions of leadership language: Cultivating Relationships (interpersonal communication; linguistic features of politeness), Making Decisions (authoritative communication; linguistic features of power), and achieving outcomes (the interaction between interpersonal and authoritative communication; balancing power and politeness).
Learning Objective: Participants will learn how to use the Four Strategies for Successful Self-Advocacy: Make it about yourSELF, not the company, Minimize the ask, Present one “easy yes” with one “difficult yes”, Appeal to a higher authority.
Learning Objective: Participants will learn how humans use language to reveal who they are to one another (subconsciously signaling vs consciously creating), and often causes miscommunications in the workplace.
We know language is central to inclusivity, but rarely do we make it beyond the “Don’t Say List” when talking about what Inclusive Language actually IS. In this session, participants learn 6 principles of Inclusive Language developed by linguists to apply to ANY conversation in any context.
Learning Objective: Participants will learn about different types of English (Southern English, African American Vernacular English, English, gendered language, etc ), to explore how norms of “language professionalism” can create feelings of being excluded, and what a team can do to foster a truly inclusive working environment.
Learning Objective: Participants will learn why feelings are a good and important part of workplace communication. A linguistic perspective teaches us that instead of being psychic states that control us, feelings are a valuable evolutionary tool for making complex evaluations, which can be leveraged for success in the workplace.
Learning Objective: Participants will learn how to implement abstract “emotional intelligence” linguistically; essentially learning how to be emotionally intelligent through team communication with the 3 key linguistic strategies that encode emotional intelligence.
