Full voice cover art It's not what you say. It's how you say it. And there are five ways to do it.

 

As I've written before, Albert Mehrabian discovered that when interactions contain more than just factual data, we attribute more of the message to body language and vocal tonality than we do to words (55% body language/facial expression; 38% tonality; 7% words). I believe that the Knower/Judger and Learner/Researcher don't reside exclusively within spoken words but, in line with Albert Mehrabian's work, can be found and experienced in the physicality and tonality of the delivery. Recently, I found a fantastic book that strengthens my theory and provides an entirely new way for you to approach your conversations.

How does Rally co-driving prepare you for improving performance in teams and executives?
I am a Rally Co-driver in several series in the Western Hemisphere.  You can read about my racing history at my rally website. When I am competing, it is my job to corral all the best performances from myself, the driver, the mechanics and any other members of the crew supporting us for the weekend.  As you can imagine, as in any racing, egos are strong, tensions are high, and the atmosphere is ripe for interpersonal conflict.
 
I have a track record of co-driving for racers of any caliber (National Champions to first event novices) and delivering results that exceed their expectations. 
 
For the rest of my living, I coach executives in leadership and team dynamics; teams in developing higher levels of trust, understanding and camaraderie; and individuals in making changes supportive of getting what they want in life.  In this arena too, I have a reputation for delivering results that exceed their expectations.

HDClarity is an e-zine for those wanting to develop more of that trust, understanding and camaraderie in their work environment, and their life in general.  A smoother running team is a more profitable team.  It get things done faster, for less cost. 

If you'd like to share some of these insights for developing High Definition Clarity in your daily and business life, please forward this email.
