Why Choose Two-Day Advanced Communication Strategies Course With Dr Matt Todd
This advanced two-day course takes you deeper into the mindset, methods, and mastery of influence, persuasion — and listening at an elite level.
This is more than a course; it’s an experience that reshapes how you think, listen and respond — unlocking the power to connect and communicate at the highest level.
By the end of this course, you’ll have mastered the principles of elite-level listening and advanced communication — giving you the ability to influence outcomes, build trust, and lead with impact in any situation.
Who is this course for?
Designed for those seeking mastery in communication, this 2-Day immersive course expands significantly on the core principles of the 1-Day Course. We move beyond fundamental listening to explore complex, high-stakes negotiation scenarios in depth. This intensive program is for any professional—from HR specialists and sales directors to C-suite leadership—who need more than practical tools; it is for those who require a sophisticated, robust framework for cultivating dynamic, high-trust teams and leading through profound understanding and valuation of others.
How you will be coached
Drawing upon extensive experience as a hostage and crisis negotiator for 20 years, proven theory is presented grounded in practical, deployable application. You will not merely observe; you will actively participate. Close, direct coaching will be provided during dynamic exercises, facilitating a hands-on learning environment where you can immediately feel the impact of enhanced skills. This comprehensive approach ensures that real-life case studies seamlessly demonstrate how these refined techniques translate into practical, high-stakes scenarios.
