Been there and done that!
I’m Simon McAuliffe, a trained psychotherapist, founder of BBA (Building Better Abilities), a business consultancy specializing in helping individuals and teams perform and communicate more effectively. For the last 25 years, I have worked across over 40 countries for some of the largest multinationals at all levels in these organisations. However, i didn't start at this level and it has been a fascinating journey.
My experiences have given me valuable insights into the world of effective communication using some of the best proven learning techniques available today.
As the founder of my company I appreciate how essential communication skills are for success. Like most people, I had to learn the hard way and have made many mistakes but these have been instrumental in getting me to where I am today.
Some of my key learnings are:
· Understanding what is going on internally.
· Clear awareness of my preferred communication style and that of others.
· How to maintain optimum levels of confidence when communicating.
· How to prepare well, along with an awareness of the key behaviours of effective communication.
