Workshops look at improving workplaces
Steph Holloway has a solution to toxic workplaces.
A body language expert, Steph said the 1200 communication workshops she has held through her business Elemental Potential, one in 10 people was toxic.
“It’s breathtaking how much damage they’re doing.”
But after the workshops those people had either changed or in one case, left the business.
Furthermore, more women than men were the toxic element in the business, Steph said.
She says her unique blend of communication techniques are designed to “stick, and correct through coaching unacceptable behaviour”.
Over the past seven years Steph has spent the first 30 minutes of every day researching the latest thoughts and evidence on communication.
This research coupled with the findings from the workshops she held resulted in Steph creating the world’s first practical communication model, Compassionate Assertiveness in Action (CAA).
“The model is simple to understand and use and helps clients to transform relationships and business culture.
“It shows how they can get what they want without being aggressive.”
Next year Steph will take her model globally to five countries.
This model will be available in Palmerston North at her two workshops in September; the Communication Bootcamp and Transform your Business.
This will be her only visit to Palmerston North this year and she has intentionally kept the workshop numbers to 20 in each session for maximum learning.
