C-IQ: Workplace Communication Coaching for Today’s Leaders

Does communication in your workplace need improvement? Conversational Intelligence – also known as C-IQ – may be the executive communication training your organization needs.

C-IQ is a force for positive transformation through improved communication skills. It helps leaders at all levels with:

• Establishing high levels of trust
• Inspiring growth and innovation
• Overcoming limiting conversational patterns
• Gracefully navigating difficult conversations
• Improving across many types of communication

Where Are the Gaps in Your Organization’s Conversational IQ?

Are organizational leaders talking over their top performers in meetings that are meant to be collaborative? Are teams unable to resolve their differences leading to superficial communication and inefficient teamwork? If so, your teams could be getting in the way of their own success and productivity.

Every verbal and nonverbal cue in workplace communication either contributes to establishing trust or distrust. Without executive communication coaching, the way many leaders communicate inadvertently puts their teams in fight or flight mode. They’re not sparking quality conversations. Instead, they’re clashing with colleagues and failing to inspire positive influence.

Here are 13 common signs that suggest your organization could benefit from Conversational Intelligence training. If you recognize five or more of these signs in your work environment, C-IQ can transform the way you work:

• Innovation is not a strength
• Team members don’t get along
• Leaders are leading mostly by authority and position
• Meetings do not produce surprisingly positive outcomes
• Trust is low
• Turnover is high
• Managers don’t know how to inspire their teams
• Teams perform at average levels
• Employee engagement is weak
• Leaders are addicted to being right
• Great ideas don’t come from the lowest levels of the organization
• Lower-level staff are scared to speak to their leaders
• Collaboration between departments is not where it should be

Chances are, if you have two or more people in your organization, communication could be improved through C-IQ coaching.

Who Is Conversational Intelligence Designed For?

C-IQ is ideal for leaders at any level, including individual leaders, executives, sales managers, teams, or entire organizations. Their communication matters and what they say can either inspire or deflate those they work with.

C-IQ is ideal for teams and team leaders because all teams want to operate at a high level, but in reality, few do. C-IQ can show the way to having Level III discovery conversations that increase trust, improve collaboration, and accelerate innovation.

Additionally, C-IQ is ideal for 1-on-1 executive coaching with leaders struggling to get their ideas across and collaborate fully with those around them.

Designed for professionals at all levels, Conversational Intelligence exercises, tools, and methods are easy to understand and implement. They become more natural and comfortable as they’re used again and again in the workplace and other environments where positive communication makes a tangible difference.
