Event details
Welcome to our first event in Paris for 2015, on the theme of self-development. Following, the huge success our speaker, Luke Archer had in Lyon, we are offering our members in Paris an opportunity to learn new inter-personal skills.
Verbal Aikido is an innovative communication style based on the martial aikido philosophy: treat the attacker as a partner rather than an adversary. During this program, you will have the opportunity to polish your communication skills. Luke Archer will speak about the link between martial and verbal aikido and also introduce you to his three step approach:
1. Receiving the attack with an ‘inner smile’
2. Accompanying the attack to a point of destabilization.
3. Rebalancing the attack so that the attacker may save face
In the second part of the event, you will have the opportunity to put in practice verbal aikido with Luke in order to be able to use this technique, if you ever face a verbal attack or insult.
As usual, we will end the session with a nice and informal networking cocktail. Presentations will be held in English.
Learning objectives
1. Define how to have self-control when you receive an attack or an insult
2. Develop an assertive style of communication
3. Reach a positive emotional result in the communication
