This is an amazing offer from the developer of VoicePrint giving you the opportunity to have your individual and unique VoicePrint report completed beforehand. Then, at  the session you will have the opportunity to analyse, question and learn how to "find your voice and make a difference".

The Session

VoicePrint is a personal and organisational diagnostic and development tool and has been the centre of Alan Robertson’s attention for most of the last decade. Alan argues that talk is a meta-competence, since it is the primary form of action in the modern workplace. The problem is that talk comes easily and we tend to use it with too little conscious attention. The results are often neither what we intended nor as productive as we would wish. However, raising awareness of our distinctive individual ways of using talk can develop our personal impact and make our interactions more effective.

As the owner and developer of VoicePrint, Alan is offering participants at our half day event the opportunity to complete the questionnaire for themselves ahead of the session so as to be able to engage with the tool more fully during the presentation, at no additional charge. The objective will be to explain the nature, purpose and applications of the tool and enable you to explore their own profiles in relation to the demands that your own contexts make on you.

"Our VoicePrint diagnostics shed light on these tendencies and their effects, while our VoicePrint developmental resources and interventions make people and organisations more effective in this essential inter-personal competence."
