How to Talk to a Human

Let’s face it: we suck at talking to people. We just suck. And it feels like we’re getting worse. We’re more polarized, less tolerant, more in our heads, and less vulnerable. So, conversations can feel, well, hard. Which is why we teamed up with Jad Abumrad, who has spent the past 20 years building some of the biggest public radio shows and podcasts out there to create a whole new experience.

How to Talk to a Human gets to the core of having easy, impactful, and productive 1-on-1 exchanges. We’ll practice listening, dealing with adversity, and sharing unique and different points of view to make you a better manager, colleague, friend, and overall human.

Features

Go Deep With Your Team.

Skip the small talk that can be so pervasive in the workplace and ask and answer thoughtful and meaningful questions one-on-one with your teammates.

Discover Your Blocks.

We all have them. Perceptions or beliefs about how we should show up, what other people think about you, or how you view others. We'll dive into the impact of those perceptions, and offer tools on how to shift them.

Learn to (REALLY) Listen.

It is so easy, and often expected, in today's world to do 10 things at once, that true presence and active listening have become not only rare but difficult to practice. This course gives you the space to practice in real time with your team, and some tips on how to bring these skills into your daily life.

Feedback

“How to Talk to a Human was a fun opportunity to have conversations with people we don't work with day to day and don't normally get to have conversations with. The platform is engaging, utilizing different presentation styles and activities to keep it interesting. It left us with much to think about and consider regarding communications in our work and personal lives.”

“BAR Architects & Interiors has been delighted with the ripple effect Jad’s How to Talk to Humans has had across our organization. We knew the program would be fun and insightful; what we didn’t expect was the amount of actionable take-aways and a measurable boost in means of engagement. One month later and our Senior Associates continue to refer back to specific content and weave new layers of engagement across our community of practice. Everyone should do this workshop!”

From Conference Fatigue to Cookie-Face Glory: Western Governors University’s 32-Team Game Show

Conferences are long. Faculty brains were fried. Western Governors University needed something big, bold, and bright to shake off the Salt Lake City conference haze . So they called us in.image2

We rolled out our Game Show for 500 faculty members split into 32 teams — and went straight for the good stuff. Custom trivia written just for them? Check. Buzz In battles that made the quietest professors yell? Check. Price Is Right challenges that had everyone rethinking the cost of a box of cereal? Double check. Then came the highlight of the evening: thirty-two grown adults trying to slide Oreos from their foreheads to their mouths without using their hands, as all 468 of their colleagues roared them on.

Because, as it turns out, sometimes the road from scholar to slapstick is only one cookie long.

At the start, the vibe was nervous. Lots of questions. Lots of “Wait, how does this work?” But the second the games kicked off, hesitation melted into laughter. The room was electric, and by the end, these thirty-to-seventy-year-old faculty members were all in — laughing, cheering, competing, and plotting their rematch for next year.

Behind the curtain, our crew of four Go Game facilitators ran the whole thing smoothly, dropping in custom trivia questions and scaling the show seamlessly for 500 people. Meanwhile, outdoors, another Go Game team was running a Classic Adventure for a different group at the exact same time. Salt Lake City was basically ground zero for fun that day.

The result? Five hundred very tired faculty members transformed into five hundred people blown out of the water. They showed up skeptics and left believers — in TGG, laughter, and Oreos.
