Practise now.

Ten minutes for your next conversation.

Practise with familiar situations under time pressure each working day. Write your own response and see how your colleague reacts. Build better ways of working together, even when a conversation is difficult.

The app is currently available as part of training with Victor.

“Under pressure, you fall back on what you’ve practised rather than on what you know.”

You learn by doing.

Reading about tennis won’t teach you to play it. You learn on the court, one ball at a time.

Work with Victor on conversations from your own workplace. Between meetings, practise again in the app for about ten minutes at a time.

How an exercise works.

Explore both techniques. This example uses fixed responses.

Er... boss, want me to take over your visitor...?

Forget it...... I'll do it myself.

From practice to change.

Changing a conversation takes more than one good sentence. These steps run throughout your training, from your first response to putting it into practice at work.

  1. Do

    Read a workplace scenario, choose a technique and respond in your own words. Practise under time pressure, as you would at work.

  2. Experience

    Your colleague responds to your words. See what your response brings out in the other person before you try it at work.

  3. Understand

    An example response and a tip show how you contributed to the conversation and help you understand what happened.

  4. Change

    Try the technique again with different colleagues and situations, with less help each time. Then use it at work.

Bring it back to your team.

The demo gives you a first look. In the programme, you train with Victor and keep practising in the app between sessions.
