Topics, Sessions And Talks
This presentation takes a look at and closely examines the four most common toxic personality types most disruptive to organizations. Joe examines their common traits, how to best identify them through their behavior, how to better understand them, and what can be done to deal with them if and when they become a problem.
Based on Joe’s lectures at the Harvard Business School over a decade, he explores how nonverbals factor in negotiations to establish trust, to create cooperation, to evince information, to establish order, and to garner greater acceptance. This is the skill set that is not taught at most business schools, but which can make a big difference in determining if there are issues or concerns, for establishing harmony, respect, greater collaboration, and empathetic understanding. This can be presented both as a keynote and as a two-hour breakout session.
Based on his international bestselling book Be Exceptional (harpercollins), Joe takes a powerfully insightful look at how exceptional individuals evoke trustworthiness and how that translates into changing perceptions and more effective leadership. With a focus on experienced professionals, this lively keynote examines for the first time what it really takes to be exceptional in a truly transformational way and how you can differentiate yourself from your peers and competitors.
Nonverbal behaviors comprise approximately 60–80% of all interpersonal communication. They can reveal a person’s true thoughts, feelings, concerns, as well as intentions. And because people are not always aware they are communicating nonverbally, body language is often more honest than the spoken word. In this presentation, Joe Navarro, a world-leading expert on the applied use of nonverbal communication, will provide crucial insights into how to master nonverbal intelligence in business to assess and influence others.
Joe Navarro’s extensive background as a leader in the FBI, within the intelligence community, working with foreign governments, consulting with major corporations and ceos, sitting on corporate boards, and while doing research for his books, has given him unique insights into how culture, gender, group dynamics, personalities, chronicity, behavior, and of course verbal and nonverbal communication factor, in what it takes to be an effective leader. This keynote presentation is immediately useful and practical, providing effective strategies that have proven transformative for those with leadership aspirations as well as those seeking to achieve a higher level of excellence through their leadership.
