Topics Highlight

INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS

 

 

How we communicate with each other either on the job or in our personal lives may go a long way towards understanding our effectiveness in our careers and personal lives. We can create winners with our words and gestures and we can destroy others with words and gestures even when we are not aware of our behavior. When Dr. Wall delivers a keynote address on this subject, audiences always find themselves somewhere in his description of interpersonal communications. Some of the points he will cover include:

  • Recognizing the complete model that makes communications move from theory into practice
  • Analyzing your own ability to get your point across when dealing with technical information
  • Developing your ability to work with rude people who interrupt you when speaking
  • Recognizing the impact on others when you speak slowly vs. speaking rapidly
  • Recognizing a co—worker who is about to quit their job because of employment dissatisfaction
  • Spotting the employee who is likely to be shut out of team effort when their work is otherwise satisfactory
  • Recognizing just how powerful our words are when speaking to others                       
  • Identifying the steps necessary to become an effective listener rather than one who is just hearing words
  • Examining how you judge others by using eye contact as a key variable in determining honesty and trustworthiness
  • Thinking about how powerful your body language is when communicating verbally with others
  • Judging the power of touching and its appropriateness in the workplace
  • Looking to the future, are we likely to be more effective as communicators or are we less likely to be considerate of our fellow man?

MOTIVATION AND MORALE                               

IN THE WORKPLACE

 

All across our nation today we hear both employers and employees discussing the issues of motivation and morale in our offices and factories. These two concepts are critical to a productive work environment. Each is thoroughly examined in this keynote presentation by Dr. Wall. Some of the points he will cover if he speaks for your group include:

  • What is motivation when applying the concept to the office?
  • Why is it so difficult for some people to accept being motivated at work?
  • Who is responsible for your motivation?
  • What is the role of an employer in an employees motivation?
  • How can we distinguish between motivation and morale at the office?

  • What is the role of a supervisor in building                                                                             
    or     destroying morale and how can you as an
    individual contribute to high or low office morale?

  • Identify your personality type as related to motivation.

  • How does the “workaholic” influence motivation and morale in the office?

  • Is there a role for humor in workplace morale and motivation?

  • Looking to the office future: What
    needs to be done to ensure
    quality time at work?     

It is hard to imagine a field of work or leisure that does not come with a  certain amount of stress and or burnout. How these concepts impact our lives may determine just how successful we are in our careers and personal lives. If Dr. Wall speaks to your group about this topic he has studied for some 20 years, you will learn about the following points. 

  • Identify your personal stress level — Take the Stress Test

  • The stages of stress and how each stage impacts your life at
    home and work
  • The migratory nature of stress and how you can identify where
    the stress is coming from
  • The two types of stress and which one we want to keep
  • How you can create and eliminate stress in co—workers
  • What is burnout and how does it differ from stress
  • Identify the five stages of burnout and locate yourself on these
    five levels
  • Who is most likely to experience burnout
  • How your personality type increases or reduces stress and burnout
  • How humor and leisure impacts your stress level
  • How to employ time management as a stress reliever
  • What might we expect in the future as related to stress and burnout

When Chuck speaks of leadership, he is fully aware that there are several alternatives available to select from, both in styles and personal approaches. Below are topics he will cover when presenting a leadership speech or workshop.

 

·        A working definition of leadership

·        Who is eligible to become a leader?

Dr. Wall Speaks of Positive Living

"Though committing ourselves to the concept of Acts of Kindness is not the answer to all the ills of the world, we must begin somewhere. So why NOT kindness? It benefits both the giver and the receiver.

"I hope that each of you will accept the challenge of performing acts of kindness in your daily lives and encourage others to join you. It costs little or nothing to be kind, and each act of kindness has the potential to multiply, bringing others into the cycle of committing kindnesses.

"Remember, an act of kindness goes a long way."

- from a speech on "Kindness" by Chuck Wall
