Fed up with being shy at meetings? Do you find it difficult to assert yourself in certain situations? Do you struggle to make meaningful connections with others? Have you ever found yourself being manipulated by others who always seems to know exactly what to say? Feeling unable to fully "be yourself" at work, or even with friends and family?

Temple Training is in the business of empowering people to communicate and connect more effectively with others. We offer training that provides you with a set of tools to overcome everyday obstacles that get in the way of your dealings with others.

We can help when it comes to:

• having a greater impact in difficult conversations
• overcoming challenging situations
• dealing with difficult people
• any situation which requires you to put yourself across effectively to others

Each member of our team — professionals with backgrounds in learning and development, law, media and market research — are also trained professional actors. The training we offer is based on an acting technique which has developed over several decades and is outstandingly successful here and in the United States. The Meisner Technique has been the driving force behind the careers of Academy Award winners Robert Duvall, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Diane Keaton and many, many others. It emphasises the importance of accurate listening, communicating with impact and integrity, and the ability to create meaningful connections with others.

You will find working with us a unique and rewarding experience. Our training will challenge you to expand your understanding of yourself, those around you and the way you communicate.

Having worked with us, you will immediately see a difference in your awareness of yourself, your habitual ways of communicating and the possibilities available to you. You will have gained the skills, empowerment and insight necessary to relate more effectively to others and to get more of what you want out of any situation.

Testimonials

"I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop - it was very different and thought-provoking. I've been trying to modify my behaviour both at work and at home ever since - no-one has yet complained that I'm "psyching them out" so I must be doing something right..."

"I think the course was well structured and well thought out. Since we had no warning of what to expect, we were all naturally nervous and apprehensive, but I for one was eager to learn. I think I can be (but not always) a good communicator but knew that conflict situations were always tricky for me. The audience participation was hard, on reflection it was essential if I was to gain the most from the day. I learnt the importance of effective listening (I still find this hard to achieve, but I guess old habits die hard). I learnt how to gauge/assess the reaction/emotion of the person I am talking to and if necessary adjust the style of my communication to suit. Importantly, I learnt to draw away the attention from myself and being aware of the style of my communication (aggression versus assertive) and not to use "loaded" words".

"I would describe the Influencing Skills workshop as the most intense, stimulating and rewarding training day that I've ever taken part in. It demanded (and achieved) 100% focus and concentration. Its methods sometimes challenged the comfort zones but the rewards were well worth it. I remember everything I learnt and will be putting it into practice from now on. In short, I found the course very useful and try to use what I have learnt when I can".

"A very useful and practical course where you actually learn tools you can use. The more you put in the more you get out is certainly true for this course".
