This workshop examines the linguistics of decision-making and how to create effective teams. It investigates how to sustain effective rapport management between colleagues, clients and customers. Based on the principles of Linguistic Profiling, this workshop takes a hands-on approach, providing a practical set of toolkits that will aid business leaders in reflecting upon how they make decisions in their everyday business lives and how to deal effectively with the complex process of decision-making to deliver the best results in future. It will also cover top tips to ensuring that teams stay loyal, fully motivated and focused.

Our workshops offer a unique training experience as they are based on real-life professional interactions and include interactive drama and performance elements with our dedicated team of actors. All workshops are delivered at the University of Nottingham’s award-winning University Park Campus by our linguistics experts.
