RAPPORT: The
positive outcome that occurs when you
demonstrate that you understand the other person’s model of the world.
It involves the flow of verbal and nonverbal communication together to
establish
mutually desirable outcomes.
ABOUT OUR TEACHING METHODS
Our
state-of-the-art techniques help people actually learn. Participants in Rapport’s programs progress through increasingly
challenging exercises that are carefully structured to help them experience
success from the start. Each step prepares them for the next one and
strengthens their skills in the techniques they have already learned. This
approach builds confidence and a positive attitude toward serving as
spokespersons.
Rapport Communications' methods help
people learn what really works, and why. Thus, our clients succeed in
presenting information before any audience and responding to questions from any
source. Follow-up studies show participants retain as much as 80% of
what they learned in one of our programs -- even weeks later -- and use that knowledge effectively in the
situations for which they were coached.
Participants
learn through discussion, demonstration, and video-recorded role-play. Brief instructional
units cover the three critical aspects of spokesperson success: Self, Subject,
and Situation.Constructive critiques help them learn each lesson
well and succeed in the actual situations for which we have helped them
prepare.
