Dear Professional,
If you’ve ever looked around and thought that, as a society, our behavior is getting worse…
… you’re right!
Think about it for a minute. If you’re like most people, you have more to do to survive. Yet you probably have fewer resources, less help … and are even earning less money. The people you deal with feel the same pressure. So they bring their anxiety, anger and other bad habits to the table when communicating with you.
How Many of These Difficult Behaviors
Would You Like to Defuse?
If you have to deal with people exhibiting one or more of these difficult behaviors in your life – and you’re tired of feeling frustrated, angry, blindsided, depressed or hopeless when dealing with people, I have good news!
Because, first of all …
You’re Not Alone
Unfortunately, most people don’t know exactly how to deal with people who behave badly. So they do one or more of the following:
:
¦ Minimize contact with the problem person. When a co-worker blows up and has a temper tantrum worthy of a 2-year-old, we learn to avoid that person as much as possible … or at least steer clear of situations that might spark another blow-up.
¦ Get angry. When someone’s problem behavior drives us nuts … we let ‘em know. Although letting off some steam certainly puts the other person on full alert that you’re not happy with their behavior, this plan backfires in the long-run because it gives you a reputation as a loose cannon.
¦ Avoid the situation. We figure that it’s easier to avoid the person altogether, so we modify our expectations, needs, or the way we work. For example, if Mary agrees to help out all the time, but rarely meets her commitments on time, you might figure it’s faster just to do the work yourself. If Joe has a fit every time you ask for help, you learn to go without assistance or ask someone else to do the work Joe should be helping with.
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
But as you’ve probably realized, none of these approaches really work. Because they usually result in 1 or more of the following situations.
¦ You’re frustrated and aggravated when you have to deal with the people you can’t stand.
¦ You’re stressed out by the conflict … and the stress is taking a toll on your physical and emotional health.
¦ Your workload is increasing … because you either can’t find someone you can delegate to without listening to boatloads of whining … or you can’t trust them to get the job done.
¦ Morale drops … because employees who know how to behave like responsible adults are punished when other people get to shirk their responsibilities and verbally bully the rest of the staff.
¦ Productivity plummets. Because you have to waste hours every day dealing with problem behavior.
If you’re tired of letting other people’s bad behavior impact your happiness, productivity and even health, good news…
I can help.
Conscious Communication University is an interactive, online learning program that delivers time-tested communication techniques in bite-sized chunks. You’ll master the skills needed to effectively handle bad behaviors in others … without the cost or hassle of participating in a live seminar.
This fun and entertaining learning program delivers 14 classes, each lasting 30-40 minutes. The curriculum is divided into multiple classes so that you can work through the material at your own pace. Set aside a full day to complete the program in one sitting, just as you would a live seminar … or work through it over the course of several days. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll learn.
The Basics of Conscious Communication
In classes 1-3, gain a better understanding of why people act the way they do, and the communication skills you unconsciously use when communication is working for you.
Problem Behaviors
In classes 4-13, take an in-depth look at each problem behavior … and learn the specific step-by-step strategy to neutralize and prevent it.
Integrating Your New Wisdom and Skills
In class 14, discover how to change your reactions to anybody and anything and program in the new, positive behaviors you’ve learned through this program.
During Conscious Communication® University, you’ll discover how to effectively manage all types of problem behavior. So you can more effectively communicate with the individuals who drive you nuts today … as well as the challenging individuals you’ll encounter later in your career.
With each of the top 10 problem behaviors, you’ll discover:
I went from kindergarten through medical school in 20 years straight. Although I am glad I did, it was downright boring. I noticed I learned and remembered the most from the few teachers who made me laugh. So when I did my first seminar after graduating medical school in 1980, I vowed to incorporate humor into my teaching … and my trademark style of Educating through Entertainment was born.
Style + Substance = Results!
To ensure that you see noticeable results from your participation, the Conscious Communication University is built upon Educating through Entertainment and addresses visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles.
Each Class is 30-40 minutes and consists of 5 parts
A 7- to 13-minute video presentation of my live seminar with all the stories and stand-up comedy that has made me a sought-after speaker.
A 1- to 2-minute video presented by “Coach Rick,” who explains the mental muscles you’re developing by mastering the lesson.
Visit “The Lab,” where you’ll meet one of the lab instructors, Professor Bologorodko … the disembodied Head of the Department.
Also meet Professor McFly who will teach you to be a fly on the wall and pay attention to communication in new ways.
In the lab the Professors will show you a 3- to 4-minute video, where you’ll also see the strategies in action.

Top 5 Ways Your Company Will Benefit
Your organization will benefit, too. Because your new skills and knowledge will help to:
· Increase efficiency and productivity. When employees, vendors and customers exhibit problematic behavior, it wreaks havoc with how your company functions. Once empowered with the skills to deal with difficult behaviors, you waste less time dealing with miscommunication, petty office spats and politics … leaving more time to get work done.
· Improve customer service. Whether your team’s “customers” are people who buy your company’s goods and services, vendors, or even other employees, your team’s ability to effectively deal with difficult behaviors will enable you to make – and keep – your customers happy.
· Reduce employees’ stress. “Difficult” people are stressful to deal with. Whether trying to avoid a Tank’s explosive anger or frustration caused by a Tank or a Yes Person who refuses to meet deadlines, your employees are suffering needlessly. By teaching them practical skills for improving communication, you’ll help to eliminate a source of needless stress, frustration and anxiety.
· Boost team morale. It’s tough to maintain optimism and commitment to your company when employees are stressed out about their workloads and fearful about job security. By participating in the program as a group, your team will bond and be committed to helping each other succeed.
· Demonstrate commitment to employees. Most employees understand that expenses must be cut to ensure your organization’s survival. But cutting training can send the message that you don’t care about your employees’ well-being, satisfaction and growth. Investing in the Conscious Communication University shows that you’re committed to helping employees grow … and appreciative of their contributions.
Do it as a Team
When people learn Conscious Communication® together the results are exponential. Each person sees their role in the group dynamic and is compelled to take a little bit of responsibility for their behavior. That "little bit of responsibility" multiplied by a team of people reinforces everyone into positive communication patterns. Group behaviors like sniping, whining and negativity are a thing of the past.
"To this day, one year later, people are still talking about the seminar and utilizing the skills." Harry Olsen, Department of Corrections
"I never thought a one day communication program could change behaviors, but it's been 9 months and things are still different around here." Carolyn Strong, Xerox
How to Do it as a Team
Each person on the team commits to doing a class a week (or whatever pace works for your logistics). Then at a weekly 20 minute accountability meeting the team will discuss what they have learned and do the exercises that are provided in the Facilitator’s Guide which is provided at no extra charge.

That’s less $1.64 a day – less than you spend on a latte. And far less than what it’s costing you to deal with miscommunication each and every day.
How Much Time and Money Are You Wasting Now When People Act Their Worst?
Have you ever really stopped to consider and calculate what it really costs your organization when you spend your valuable time dealing with difficult behaviors rather than working?
Probably not. But I assure you that the numbers can be eye-opening.
Do you waste 10 minutes a day? 30 minutes?
An hour or more?
Well, guess what … if you’re making $40,000 a year, participating in Conscious Communication University pays off for your organization if you save as little as 6 minutes a day dealing with difficult behaviors – and spend that time working instead.
That’s right. Spend 6 minutes a day working rather than dealing with negative people … and your participation in this one-of-a-kind course will begin putting more money in your company’s coffers.
