Andrew HorabinAndrew will present several sessions over the three days and these include:

Five Tips for PitchingDo you sometimes have a great idea – or just the most sensible view in the room – and fail to convince others to see it?

Just because you’re right, doesn’t mean you’ll win the argument or inspire others with your brilliant plan. You generally need to be good at selling it, too.

BULLSHIFT: Get more openness, honesty and straight talk at work

Note: This is for those who’ve not yet experienced a Bullshift workshop.

Have lots of laughs and get real insights into why there’s so much bulldust at work – and how we might shift some of it.


LEADING CONSTRUCTIVE DEBATE

It’s a good thing we disagree. Many a bad thing has happened just because everyone went along with it. We must have conflicts and arguments.

But there’s a big difference between a healthy, robust argument that seeks the highest truth or best idea and a bitter, bickering exchange of ignorance that leads to bad decisions or broken relationships.

BULLSHIFT: Get more openness, honesty and straight talk at work

Note: This is for those who’ve attended a Bullshift workshop and are looking to refresh and extend the conversation OR for those who don’t mind they haven’t done the first one and still want to do this.

Andrew will briefly reinforce the foundations before exploring Bullshift principles not covered in the first workshop.

Again, there’ll be plenty of laughs and more principles, skills and techniques for shifting the bull at work.
