“Don’t Let Them Chew You Up & Spit You Out: Learning to Understand and Speak the Language of the Alpha Type”

Achieve greater success. Increase respect. Boost your effectiveness. Lessen frustration.

When dealing with dominant, strong alpha types, women often relinquish the power they possess in business and related respects. Women also see their confidence and effectiveness diminish when working with alpha types. In the workplace, alphas can be clients, colleagues, managers and CEOs. The first thing women should understand is that alpha types will rarely, if ever, change their style of communicating to accommodate others’. The solution to the problem is to learn to speak the language of the alpha type. Doing so will set you up for greater success, increased respect, greater effectiveness, less frustration and keep the alphas from chewing you up and spitting you out.

“Channel the Brilliance. Curb the Belligerence.”

The term alpha male conjures up a negative stereotype for most of us. Why? Historically alpha types have gotten away with bully type behavior because their strengths as leaders make them indispensable to the organizations for which they work. The corporate world is becoming less accommodating of negative alpha behavior. Alphas known for their brilliance are being held accountable for the trail of casualties that litter their ascent to upper management and other positions of leadership. In addition alphas with the highest propensity towards dysfunctional behavior are missing out on promotions and other key opportunities. The skills that got you to the semi-finals aren’t going to take you to the finals.

“Curb the Belligerence. Channel the Brilliance” is a workshop designed to enable executives to identify the pitfalls of their alpha behavior patterns and help them refocus their energy on leveraging their alpha strengths.

Liberate your alpha strengths. Showcase your alpha attributes. Harness your alpha dysfunctions.
