This Won't Work!
I recently received this ad for a conflict resolution
seminar in my inbox. I'm not going to say which company it
comes from, but I include it here because it is the exact
opposite of my approach.
|
Never again fall victim to those who love to
make life miserable for the rest of us
...
-
You'll learn why they act the way they
do.
-
You'll find out exactly what to say and do
in specific situations.
-
You'll become less of a target for their
barbs and antics
-
You'll see how to bring out the best in
even the worst offenders.
Attend this seminar and gain the communication
skills you need to "de-stress" all of your
difficult relationships, on the job and
off.
This is a day of intensive training with
immediate payback
...
Learn to take the offensive against
know-it-alls, dictators, snipers, gripers,
"yes" people, "no" people, and all of the other
contrary characters you confront every
day.

The Maximum Advantage philosophy is:
- You are not a victim. We show you how to take
control, not "go on the offensive."
- People don't "love to make life miserable" for
you. If you adopt this belief, why even bother to try to
solve problems?
- You are better off to learn a framework and principles
that will work in all situations, not just a set of rules
for specific situations.
- People are not "offenders", they are simply doing what
brings them results. Learn what motivates them and give it
to them in a more constructive way.
- Putting people into categories is inaccurate and
counter productive.
You will you get dramatically better results by not
assigning blame and accepting responsibility for the results of
the communication than you will by being a victim and blaming
others for being "contrary characters"!
Join us at one of our workshops and learn a system that will
benefit you forever.
