Why can’t we all just get along?

Communication exchanges are at the heart of all relations, business and personal. How these exchanges are managed directly affects an individual’s success as well as a company's performance.

People listen to what they want to hear, and how they want to hear it. Since we all travel down the communication highway, we better be prepared for two way traffic. The “Talk to Me” communication system provides the roadmap based on Dr. O'Grady's groundbreaking theory that there are two types of communicators: Empathizers and Instigators. Empathizers and Instigators believe, think and speak differently about communication exchanges. "Talk to Me" provides the framework from which people can identify and understand their communicator type as well as that of others, so they can be successful in any communication situation. The basis of this theory is to link emotional and attitude preferences to performance obstacles and solutions by communicator type. "Talk to Me" is not gender based and it has proven there are important correlations which can be identified about leaders and their communicator/personality type. This leadership research was done in coordination with the Dayton Development Coalition in a blind study testing the feedback from a selected entrepreneurial group.

"Talk to Me" takes the understanding of communication exchanges to an all new level. Applying this theory and using it is a critical next step in the leadership development process and promoting personal growth.
