Who will you talk to today?
You may not think of yourself as a communicator, but you spend countless hours every single day attempting to communicate with your family members, your colleagues, your customers, and your friends.
Do you do it well? Do you connect? Inspire? Or do you miss the mark, and as a result miss opportunities and perhaps even create confusion? Effective communication is a skill worth millions in dollars, in personal satisfaction and career success.
At Ty Boyd Executive Communications & Coaching we teach our students how to open and expand their toolbox of communication skills, and put those tools to work. For over thirty years, we have watched students in our courses walk away more confident, more capable and more powerful because they learned how to communicate more effectively.
It took Ty Boyd a lifetime of experiences to learn what you can read in a span of a few hours in his book The Million Dollar Toolbox. This book is a straight forward roadmap to transformation spelled out in black and white.
Here are some of the skills you’ll explore:
- Discovering your personal style
- Connecting with the audience
- Learning how to listen
- Developing vocal variety
- Organizing a presentation
- Taming your fear
- Tapping into passion
Read the book, but don’t expect to be done when you are finished reading. Becoming an effective communicator is a journey that takes practice. The Million Dollar Toolbox will inspire you and guide you for a lifetime. And you can count on Ty Boyd Executive Communications & Coaching to be there every step of the way with a bevy of supportive resources. If you are ready to open your toolbox and enhance your skills, simply begin by purchasing the book.
In addition to our communication courses, we offer one-on-one coaching in person or via Skype or phone as a tool for those clients who want to fine-tune a particular presentation skill or speech. Meeting with a Ty Boyd coach on an ongoing basis to work on overall communication effectiveness is another option we offer to help our clients keep their toolboxes refreshed.
We also keep in touch via our monthly newsletter, “Words Well Spoken”, which includes helpful tools and tips. And we want to hear from you, as well. That’s why we’ve created LinkedIn groups for our Excellence in Speaking graduates to network with alumni and share stories about their communication journey. It’s a great way to keep you honest, keep you connected and keep your tools sharpened.
The skills you pack away in your toolbox have the power to free you. This is not simply about loading your toolbox with a bunch of practical skills; it’s about learning to be a powerful communicator, and putting that into practice every day. It is about self-empowerment.
And that is a million dollar tool.
