Communication, Influence and Negotiation
Tracy likes to call this Influence Inside and Outside of the Boardroom. Influence is an overused word lately so let’s call it the Disruptive Voice in Building Community. Red Shoe has a proven model in creating not only individual synergy but team synergy in influencing the organizations mission and brand. From here negotiation skills are gleaned leveraging individuals strengths and own voice. There is nothing weirder than someone trying to copy someone else’s model and voice to influence and negotiate an outcome. So let’s belly up to the bar of authenticity and create the community you want to influence.
Networking
There is a saying going around that networking is just that; working. How would you feel if you left a networking event, conference, or convention with hot leads instead of leads you have no idea how their business card ended up in the bottom of your computer bag. No, we did not look in your bag but we made you look. Red Shoe has a system on how to leverage your individual communication skills and turning networking engagements into fun and play.
Body Language: How to be Wicked Awesome With Your Words, Tone, and Body
Our lips say what we want you to hear but my body langue and tone tell you 80% of what I don’t want you to know. Red Shoe has created a series of How to be Wicked Awesome With Your Words, Tone, and Body which helps you change habits of: hand wrenching, eyebrow raising, hands in pockets making music with change, arms crossed, clinched smiles, and our favorite the infamous eye-ball roll. You will also be able to gently coach your team on how to keep your body present when delivering an important pitch or speech.
Red Shoe Roundtables
The Roundtable Methodology creates an environment that is a key part of bringing change in your life. The Roundtable is very simple to duplicate and allows for stimulating discussions to take place. By engaging values into your life, you will become a powerful influencer.
Most individuals and organizations do not know what they desire. On the surface they might say money, but money has limitations. Mark Sandborn states this eloquently: “put passion before money.” Why passion before money? If we do not like who, what, and where we are then really nothing else matters. Most people feel drastically disconnected from themselves and the universe. The result is disengagement. Over a decade ago, The Gallup Organization discovered some shocking statistics about engagement in the work place:
Not Engaged: (live from half a heart) 55 percent of the U.S. working population is not engaged. These people do just enough to get by. They go through the motions and do only what is necessary to receive a paycheck.
Actively Disengaged: (live from a broken heart) 16 percent of the U.S. working population is actively disengaged. These people take calculated, strategic actions to steal from their employer, spread lies about co-workers and create disunity in their work environment.
Engaged: (live from a full heart) 29 percent of the U.S. working population is engaged. This minority takes responsibility and ownership of the details. They realize their work is an extension of themselves and because they’re on fire, so is everything they touch.
Internal Organizational Models
The Red Shoe team has the flexibility and expertise to learn a model your organization would like to implement and do the training. Often we are hired to roll out new initiatives, training modules, and strategic planning phases. Why would organizations do this? Resources is the main reason and the second which should be the priority is when there is change management happening new modes of moving forward into the next generation of success outside consultation helps with the transition. Have you ever heard, “you are never a prophet in your home town.”? It is true when change, new training, or other big things are coming down the lane.
- Internal staff who already has a full plate with their day to day accountabilities.
- Leadership can stay within their lanes of focus and strategic planning to forward momentum and not training.
- Outside trainers hear and receive non-filtered feedback which is essential for the organizational direction to know, hear, and address.
- The ROI (return on investment) for outside consultants to do the training alleviates bottom line employee expenses to do the training lending them the time to add sales and revenue to the bottom line.

Training Programs
Internal training and development for you and your team brings natural learning by being on-site.
Sending team members off-site often creates a barrier I call the “excitement extinguisher”. As an example your team member experiences burning revelations and excitement while at a conference, training, formal class or certification. Your team member comes back full of excitement and your culture, business strategies, or change-management initiatives “extinguish” the burning excitement of innovation or ideas they come back with. This experience comes within all industries and across the board job responsibilities.
Your team is excited to implement what they learned so why not create on site opportunities that fit within your organizational strategies, internal language, and culture.
Red Shoe brings proven modules from leadership, communication, sales, project management, as well as implementing programs you already have. Here are a few of the benefits of internal training and development:
- Organizational strategy applied in training
- Internal culture is acknowledged and leveraged
- Organizational language creates practical examples to current opportunities team members work on
- Development of skills and talents are readily identifiable
- Providing personal and professional development creates a benefit to your team
- Cost effective resource that is duplicated and on-site
- Creating internal development programs increases skills, engagement, and innovation
