This presentation was created for Thrive in the Hive - one of the UK's leading independent training company's. Based in Brighton they do creative communication training, workshops and consultancy.
Successful people have one thing in common. They are creative communicators. They know how to motivate, inspire, capture imaginations and deliver their vision. That's how they get results.
Thrive can transform communication skills using creative strategies and expertise from the world of live, entertainment TV.
After years producing on screen talent for the BBC they know that the one-size-fits-all approach just doesn't work - so everything they do is focused on the individual.
Science tells us there are five communication styles: Assertive, agressive, passive-aggressive, submissive and manipulative. Most of us have a dominant style. Thrive help you to find yours and, if necessary, break out of the stereotype.
Just because you're funny it doesn't mean people won't take you seriously. Just because you're quiet it doesn't mean people won't listen.
At Thrive they don't rely on tips and tricks, but work on unleashing your unique qualities and helping you figure out how to use them. And to do it, they use the same techniques they use when putting brand new talent on screen.
Their training uses self-awareness, critical thinking, creativity and brutal honesty to spring the creative communicator from anyone put in front of them. They've done it before and helped household names engage with audiences of millions ... so they know it works
Their Mission is to set free the best public version of yourself so you can rule the room, any room.
