Negotiate Your Future,

Navigate with Leverage

Negotiating is something everyone does every day. We all have want and needs, just as organizations.

Why are good negotiation skills important for personal and professional life?

Simply, these skills help us understand the paradigm of the See-Saw of exchanging value.

Value can be in many forms such as time, costs, and quality.

Good negotiators understand that in order to achieve their desired outcome, they must be constantly negotiating hurdles, people, and challenges in order to maintain focus and achieve the desired outcome.

Using the See-Saw as the driving visual for this workshop, the delegates are put through a series of scenarios and tasked with understanding the outcome from the other persons point of view. They explore new tools and triggers that can make their own path smoother and getting the most out of people and circumstances around them.

Splitting the difference is not the way forward, as most people choose to do.

Super-Vision for Supervisors

Organizations around the world are grappling everyday with the task of getting the most out of their employees, projects and partners.

In order to oversee critical processes in people, a deeper understanding of what makes people want to do something is paramount to harmonious attainment of the task at hand.

WCA believes that people will do just about anything that you ask them to do, when they are giving enough reasons to do so.

Ancient models of using the Carrot and the Stick are today be exchanged by inspirational communication, in others words, catching people doing something right.

This positive re-enforcement technique is the greatest tool a supervisor of projects and people can learn and utilize in their day-to-day environments.

Understanding the process of the task to be supervises today requires Super- Vision, to get the best out of people in the workplace, to use encouragement and approval to stimulate ingenuity, loyalty and team work to create a feel good atmosphere where the subordinates look forward to coming to their office.

This communications workshop for supervisors, which is one of the many hats of managing today, deploys the delegate back into the work arena with new tools to guide the employees to have a desire to perform their best, with verification strategies and test driving delegation imbedded in this workshop.

“Super Outcomes erupt from those who empower others by Sharing their Vision”

Speak Like a Star

Speak Like a Star is a program that invites delegates to understand that great communication skills armed with confidence and humanity are the qualities that we all respect in a storyteller.

Everyone has a story inside him or her, a story to share.

No one was born to be a great speaker or presenter, but today more and more organizations are compelled to have a professional spokesperson to represent their product, brand or service.

Understanding that when asking 100 people what are their 5 biggest fears, speaking in public come in as one of these 5 for more than 75% of people.

A deeper look into this unveils pre-learned experiences of feeling incompetent, of making mistakes in public and being judged by others.

Speak Like a Star digs deep into the personalities of each delegate and provokes each person at their own level to open up

and begin to share with purpose and passion.

Miracle breakthroughs are often experienced in this workshop after each delegate has gone through a series of role plays, mini-presentations, spontaneous talks that improve the level of confidence while reaching their audience with heart.

2 Day Workshop: Public: 3,500 AED

“Enabling others to over come their fears

and replace it with solid confidence is the take away Star

Power Delivers”

“Mind Sets for Positive Change Happen Here at Mission I’m

Possible Events”

Mission I’m Possible

This event is a cornerstone of mind set

change for positive empowerment.

This one or two day event is pure passion and fire to unleash the old believes that hold people back from reaching their potential.

The methodology is presented by using inspirational real life examples, helping the delegates to understand what is really holding them back from being more that who they see

themselves as today.

The workshop is created to set the stage for positive change through altering the perceptions that hold people back.

The first day of presenting this material charges the audiences to drop old excuses and accept responsibility to understand what is holding them back from reaching their full potential.

The delegates are given tools to allow them to use other words that “But” I Can’t”

Or “yes, but my situation is different”.

Once these brick walls of believe are shattered, the workshop takes them forward to explore new possibilities, new goals, new achievements in their personal life and careers that will drive them forward with a new positive perspective.

Half Day Workshop:

AED 1,200 per person
