Communication Strategies for High Performance

This class is great for leaders who believe that, “You don’t build a business, you build people and then people build the business.”

– Zig Ziglar

High performing teams have a few things in common, most importantly, the type of environment created by the way people communicate. Think of it this way, every conversation you have is either driving or diminishing your people, and you often don’t even know it. This class was created to help you realize the simple things you can do (or stop doing) to take a giant step toward empowering your people and unlocking their potential for collaboration, innovation and execution.

High performing teams aren’t built by accident. Culture follows structure. In this class you will learn and practice a simple, five-step framework, that you can apply immediately to every conversation you have to sustainably create the type of environment where your people can thrive.

The BRAVE Framework® is a research-backed system, rooted in the science of psychological safety, to give leaders a new language of listening that fosters high performance, optimizes the talent development lifecycle, operationalizes inclusion and gives leaders the tools to successfully lead through uncertainty. It is currently being used by leaders at some of the country’s fastest growing organizations and Fortune 100 companies, as well as by government agencies, police forces, entrepreneurs and families around the globe, to be the structure that creates high performing cultures.

Together we will: 

• Discover the #1 characteristic of high performing teams and the science that links it to conversation
• Understand strategies for how to better coach and motivate your team to reach new heights without burning them (or yourself) out
• Learn and practice a simple 5 step framework, The BRAVE Framework®, to use in every conversation to ensure you are actively creating an environment that drives high performance while decreasing stress and accelerating decision making.
• Leave with an understanding of how the way you listen can catapult or cannibalize your team’s performance potential

Elisabeth Cardiello is a communications expert, who after a decade of owning Caffe Unimatic, the coffee company featured in the Netflix documentary “Coffee For All,” deconstructed the conversations she had over coffee. She turned her findings into a neuroscience-backed framework that gives leaders a step-by-step process to address the sensitive issues that are often avoided, improve the quality of their conversations, and hence, build thriving cultures of trust and transparency.

Elisabeth has given Congressional briefings, spoken at the UN and two TEDx conferences, been featured by Forbes, NBC, SHRM, Goop, and Virgin’s 100% Human at Work. She is also the Co-Founder of an education company whose proprietary methodology builds confidence in young women.

Elisabeth’s mission is to build a world where coffee is the catalyst that inspires deeper listening, safer spaces and hence, greater access to our own creativity, productivity, connection, and fulfillment.
