What Pamela Barnum Talks About:

Crack the Code: 3D Communication Strategies for Powerful Results
More than fifty percent of our communication is nonverbal; we miss more than half of the conversation when we fail to pay attention. Learn the secret second language reserved for communication experts and law enforcement to communicate confidence, elevate influence, and improve negotiation outcomes.

  • Display calm confidence in every situation. Learn when to move toward, not away from, conflict and when silence is the most effective negotiating tactic.
  • Decode nonverbal cues with certainty. Understand what is being said, regardless of the words used.
  • Detect deception with greater accuracy using science-backed techniques. Confidently assess verbal and nonverbal misrepresentation indicators, bluffing, and lies in real-time.

Create a Culture of TRUST to Prepare for an Uncertain Future
Trust is in crisis, and earning trust has never been more imperative than it is now. Trust solves risk problems, improves culture, and increases innovation to prepare for an uncertain future; without trust, there is no transaction.

Create a culture of trust with:

  • Transparent communication. Establish stability and security in times of uncertainty without overcommunicating or micromanaging.
  • Respect for self and others. Eliminate uncertainty and fear to increase productivity, profits, and appreciation for others with more than words.
  • Undercover tactics anyone can use to increase rapport and decrease conflict anywhere, anytime.
  • Sincere and authentic nonverbal cues. Discover how to communicate trust with more than words consistently.
  • Take ownership while exercising tact and diplomacy in challenging situations. Learn how to deliver bad news and provide critical feedback in a way that strengthens your reputation and repairs relationships.

Tactical Influence: The Superpower for Leaders
Tactical Influence is vital to gaining trust, aligning efforts to pursue goals, inspiring positive change, and significantly increasing revenue. Using proven LIFE skills to enhance essential outcomes, learn how to:

  • Leverage talent with intentional communication cues for increased collaboration and quicker decisions.
  • Inspire intrigue. Uncover how to increase productivity, creativity, and happiness with the power of curiosity and when best to utilize it.
  • Fearlessly communicate confidence and maintain a strong executive presence in times of uncertainty. Use fear and doubt to supercharge insight and eliminate imposter syndrome.
  • Empower with empathy. High-empathy-based environments have performance levels three times higher than low-empathy environments. Discover the often-overlooked strategy that builds a stronger, more productive, and more engaged culture.
