Storytelling. Management. Transition.

Though all of Whole Self Communications Programs are customized to meet the needs or our clients, we start with three core offerings that reflect the essence of Leadership Communication.

Whole Self Storytelling.

An idea is only as good as how it is communicated. As a leader, you need to know how to craft messages that drive action, and to deliver those messages in a way that inspires trust. In Whole Self Storytelling, we lead teams though a systematic process of creating and developing unforgettable communication. Key ideas include:

  • Using empathy to hook your listeners

  • Using structure to drive action

  • Bringing information to life

  • The paradox of performing authenticity

  • Peak Performance

  • Handling tough questions and audiences

  • Communicating you deeper mission

Whole Self Management

Visionary leadership is one thing, but getting things done day-by-day is quite another. You need the ability to lead great meetings, navigate difficult conversations with skill, and create a culture of excellence, creativity, and trust. With Whole Self Management, your team will develop the interpersonal skills that create high-functioning teams. Key ideas include:

  • Effective one-on-one conversations

  • The art of deep listening

  • Leading more productive, focused, enjoyable meetings

  • Collaboration and creativity in action

  • Conflict and negotiation: how to get what you want and maintain strong relationships

  • Working with difficult personalities

Whole Self Transition.

All great leaders hit a point where they need support. What got you here isn’t getting you any further. Difficult work relationships are preventing your growth. You’ve gotten to the end of one path and aren’t exactly sure where to go next. Often the stories we tell ourselves are the most important determinant in how we move forward. Whole Self Transition is an intensive 1:1 coaching process that will lead you to a deeper understanding of what is being called forth in your leadership, as well as strategies and skills to help you get there.

“Speaking in front of groups filled me with terror.  I struggled getting my point across and dreaded having to answer questions.  I tried many different classes, but nothing resonated with me.  Ryan helped me to understand what makes a good presentation and how to prepare and reinforce the core message.  Through his coaching and feedback, my ability to present a clear message to achieve results improved dramatically.  Today I’m asked to present frequently to large groups and get asked frequently how I learned to present.  My answer is the training and guidance Ryan provided to me.”
