Winning With People

Duration: 1-2 days

How many times have you heard someone referred to as either being a or not being a "people-person"? We use this term all the time! But how do you become a people person? Can you learn to be more people oriented? How do you learn to deal with people who might be lacking in those relational skills?

Some people are born with great relationship skills, but others have to work at learning how to improve this skill. In Winning With People, John Maxwell has translated decades of experience into twenty-five People Principles that you can learn. The People Principles are divided according to the five questions we must ask ourselves if we want to win with people:

• Readiness: Are we prepared for relationships?
• Connection: Are we willing to focus on others?
• Trust: Can we build mutual trust?
• Investment: Are we willing to invest in others?
• Synergy: Can we create a win-win relationship?
