Communication Confidence
Failed communication is like gridlock on the interstate. Everyone moans about it but no-one does anything to fix it. It’s time to change all that. Today’s organizations have become so complex, our world so pressured, there’s no longer room for botched-up communication.
But botched-up business communication still remains the number one reason projects fail, organizations experience low morale and turn-over remains high. The techniques still taught in many communication seminars across the country were great before email, text messages and the age of attention deficit.
Jonathan shares his 5 principles of functional communication that unlock the secrets to communication in any context, anywhere. Instead of gridlock, he’ll help you open the paths of communication to create success in leadership, business communication and family.

Your Innovation Revolution
It’s official. Government and business leaders agree. More than ever before, your workplace must be innovative to survive the assaults of economy and globalization. There’s no room for “same old same old” even though many are struggling to build a dynamic, creative future.
Building an innovative and creative culture is one of your keys to future success. Whether you’re a CEO, manager or team leader. Running a small business or leading a team within government. You need to build a culture in which your staff can innovate.
It’s time for an Innovation Revolution. And in Jonathan’s Innovation Revolution program, he gives you a three step process to make innovation and creativity a regular part of your work-day in your team, department, organization. Or in your personal life.

Your Digital Voice
Much of today’s communication is digital. To get your message across effectively, you need to cultivate your digital voice. That means getting the most out of email, online messages, podcasts and video.
The problem is that as more people stumble head-on into the world of digital communication, they end up embarrassing themselves and sending the wrong message with wobbly YouTube videos, unread emails and text messages that get people angry rather than excited.
It’s hard enough giving a presentation, motivating your staff in your annual review cycle or simply building customer relationships. But now your voice is also digital. No professional can afford not to have a professional digital voice.
In this program, Jonathan explains how media works and what you need to do to add power to your voice and not make the mistake of using media in a way that undermines your leadership and message.

Your 21st Century Leadership
Your role as a leader in today’s organization has been transformed by the radical changes taking place in today’s world.
The pressures of delivering bottom line results in the commercial sector and improving social capital in the public sector have made leading more demanding than ever. No longer can you afford to follow rusty old leadership tactics that were a hit a few years back.
You’ll need to deeply transform your view of leadership and how to motivate your staff to deliver the best possible results. But doing so in a world of global competition, multiple generations, diverse work-forces, geographically dispersed teams and the relentless demands placed on us by 24/7 connectivity is no easy task.
Jonathan believes the key to leadership success lies in understand where your real power is – your people. Developing and unleashing their potential rather than creating a power bottleneck at the top is the key tomorrow’s success.
Learn from a former media executive who has real experience leading teams and juggling priorities what you need to do to become a 21st century leader who is comfortable in the post industrial era.

The You Show
Everyone is talking about social media and the Web. Do you have Twitter Account? How do I find your Facebook page? Despite all the ‘noise’ a lot of people still don’t know what the new media all about.
While others feel they ‘kinda understand’ but haven’t quite put the pieces of the media puzzle together. They’re still seeking to see what it means for them, their work, family, children and friends.
We’re seeing more change in our media world today than any other generation. And the change is not just related to the obvious issues like the fact anyone can have her own TV, radio station or Web publication. It’s also in the ways we produce content.
The ramifications of this are huge and have deep implications for society. Newspaper circulation is plummeting. TV audiences are migrating online to the Internet. It’s a new media world and it affects anyone who has an interest in society.
In this program, discover what it all means for you as you enter the age where you are a publisher and broadcaster. Jonathan has been involved in many of the changes that have taken place over the last decade and speaks both the passion of someone close to the action and objectivity of an academic observing the changes.
