Communication

The Power of Voice

Learn to use your voice as an effective tool to deliver your message and get the right kind of response. Move from aggressive to assertive, introvert to contributor, questioning to certainty, it’s all in the delivery.

Effective Listening

Great communicators understand the power of listening and hearing. We will step you through the 5 Levels of Listening and The Representational Systems, as well as sharing some great rapport building exercises along the way.

Relationship Building 101

Whether it’s business or personal, building relationships is a crucial requirement for success. Understanding who to connect with and how isn’t always easy. Whether it’s connecting, setting boundaries or disconnecting that you are struggling with, this training will give you the understanding and inside tips you need, to build up your people skills.

Non Verbals (what your body is saying)

Studies suggest that 55% of communication is delivered by our body language not what we say. We will take you through the basics and shortcuts of non-verbals to enable you to amplify and accelerate your communication results.

Language Tools to Change Your Results

The power of linguistics is often under-rated, but your word choices can change not only the context of what you are saying, but also the interpretation at the other end. By integrating NLP Techniques (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), this workshop will fine tune your vocabulary and tell you the “never-say words” to enable you to accelerate your connection and results with others and even yourself.

Developing/Creating Effective Presentations

You have the information in your head, but turning it into deliverable workshops or presentations can be challenging. Our effective step by step process makes content development easy and your presentations come together with ease. (This workshop would also be useful if you are in the early stages of writing a book.)

Delivering Presentations Like a Professional

So the content is sorted and you are ready to go, but the thought of standing at the front of the room turns you to jelly? Perhaps you speed up or mumble your delivery so that no one can understand you? Let us help you with our insider methods and tricks and which will have you performing like a pro in no time. Confidence is contagious, let us get you there.

Effective Networking

This presentation will identify the key fears most people carry into a networking environment and tricks for conquering them. We will discuss the common mistakes networkers make, look at how body language can impact a conversation and discover the power of profile, personal space, listening tools and key words and phrases. Learn how the right networking strategy can fast forward rapport and engagement and help you to create long term relationships that will benefit you and your business. Fun and interactive learning which will enable you take your networking to the next level.

We cover communication issues including the impact of gender, cultural, generational and representational differences, the power of language, effective listening, feedback, non-verbals and social awareness. Take your communication skills to a whole new level.

What Our Clients Say

I have been with the same company for nearly 10 years. Although in a leadership role and successful, I felt burned out, stressed and unhappy at work. This was impacting my work /life balance as well as my interaction with others. I needed to re-evaluate my career priorities and level up my communication skills. Cheryl took the time to listen and understand my situation. We worked together to better understand my strengths and values and how important it is for them to be congruent with my career development. With Cheryl’s guidance I focused on the steps I needed to make to remain myself, whilst becoming a better leader at work. Cheryl’s style, attitude and easy to follow steps are pragmatic and realistic. She provided me with tools I could use every day to remain focused on changes I needed to make to achieve what I wanted.This is an ongoing journey but I am now more confident, have a deeper understanding of both myself and others, have the tools to perform better at work and am maintaining a more fulfilling work-life balance.

Catherine.R – National Manager

I met Cheryl as I started a personal journey in seeking greater clarity for my career. It has turned into much more and I am most grateful to her for helping me understand myself much better as well as how to interact with those around me. Both professional and private. Cheryl has been a source of strength and insight. Her warm and friendly nature makes it easy to relate to her. She challenges the status quo and help me improve many aspects of my life. A number of my colleagues have spent time with Cheryl and all feedback has been positive. I would highly recommend her.

Ross Cartwright, Managing Director – Head of Retail Aus/NZ, MFS INVESTMENTS

We were lucky enough to have Cheryl come to our Annual Team Conference where she presented a Creative Thinking Workshop for our Team. I would high recommend Cheryl and the workshop for anyone who is looking to open their minds and expand the vision of the business. The workshop was highly interactive with the concepts and ideas being able to be implemented relatively quickly and simply into our business.

Harry, Director of Projects, PLAN ASSIST PTY LTD

I have seen and worked with Cheryl on a number of events and projects she is a part of. So when it came to organising an EA/PA Networking event, I knew she was the right person to be our guest speaker. Cheryl is an engaging, humorous and energetic presenter, who can relate easily to a room of 10 to 100+ people. She brings a world of knowledge and experience to her presentations and her real-life business examples reinforce the messages she presents. Cheryl is definitely someone I would recommend to present at any corporate workshop.

A Edmonds, Events Manager, LUNAR PARK SYDNEY

I attended Be Ultimate’s workshop on Stress Management. It was amazing! It was exactly what I needed to understand how to manage my busy days. Cheryl taught us practical, easy to implement strategies that worked for me from day 1 and I haven't looked back since. I highly recommend Cheryl as a coach, and recommend her 2 hour workshops for anyone.

C Walt, CEO, NSD DESIGN & PRINT

I have attended two LinkedIn workshops run by Be Ultimate and I have found them to be extremely informative, professional and succinct, whilst also being very personable and fun. I have already implemented new content and knowledge learned at the workshops ... starting at the actual workshops itself!

Thanks for your fun and informative workshop sessions.

Cheryl provides an incredible bouncing board to lead you through your journey of reinvention or simply to gain reinforcement that the path you’re on is the right one. Cheryl is an awesome person who truly cares for other people, wants to see them achieve their goals, isn’t backward in coming forwards when you need the prod in the right direction and will encourage you to see the great results you are accomplishing when they may not be as obvious to you.

I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone who is looking for business advice, a change in career or simply wants to gain some solutions to taking a positive approach to life.

The cynical group loved the practical and interactive approach of this workshop and were highly engaged throughout the 2 hours. The presenters brought in lots of great exercises. I am happy to recommend this Managing Stress workshop and both presenters to other corporate groups.

Working with Cheryl has had benefits that have reached far beyond me as an individual. She has helped me to become a better leader and elevate the effectiveness and potential of my entire team. Cheryl's coaching has raised my self awareness, shifted my focus to control what I can control, and given me tools to realise opportunities that I wouldn't have thought possible before our first session.
