Soft Skills Seminar - Free Admission for ISACA members

The Potential Dialogue Workshop focuses on our declining dialogue skills (as compared to our increasing email, internet and mobile phone skills), the implications of the gap between the skill shortage and the need for enhanced dialogue in our increasingly complex world, and practical ways to enhance dialogue skills, spaces and systems at work, at home and in society. Each time this workshop runs it addresses the needs of the audience and as such every workshop is different. Workshop requests have varied from improving sales and service on key accounts to addressing political tensions in Pakistan and Tibet, responding to rapid social change in the Gulf and in Church, mobilizing corporate interest in environmental sustainability and social justice, and mediating commercial conflicts. Peter’s work in this area is the subject of a forthcoming book entitled Dialogue Gap and is based upon Nash’s Nobel winning theory of Governing Dynamics which suggests that the optimal outcome is derived when people do what’s best for them and the other party. Optimal outcomes can only be achieved through dialogue.

Peter Nixon, CA, FCPA, MSc. specializes in helping organizations (and individuals) fulfill their potential by ensuring the right people talk about the right issues in the right way and at the right time and place. Peter specializes in the facilitation, negotiation and implementation of change through dialogue. His international success arises from his belief that "The Solution is in the Dialogue" and his rare combination of financial skills (honed as an auditor for many years with one of the worlds' largest accounting firms) and communication skills (honed as a trainer and consultant with

people from over 55 countries). Peter's dialogue solutions fall into three main areas: 1) get focused (facilitation), 2) get it right (negotiation) and 3) get it done (implementation). In addition to his dialogue work Peter also provides sales and consultant training to professional firms and private banks. He is founder of The Potential Network (launch planned for Q1, 2006) aiming to provide sourcing and contracting services to companies wishing to hire objectively rated independent consultants.
