What is Directed Communication™?
Each
Directed Communication™ program is based in 5 principles
and customized for each specific audience.
- The
first principle deals with the assumptions that are
present when individuals engage in any relationship or
interaction.
- The
second principle focuses on the optimal methods for
assessing the person and the purpose in a specific
timeframe.
- Third:
How to ask the right questions in the right way to
identify the values, needs, and attitudes present in any
interaction.
- Fourth:
How to formulate agreements based on what you learn
about your counterpart, and how to break away from the
trite techniques that quell positive relationships.
- And
the fifth principle provides structure to the process of
managing the promises, obligations and responsibilities
that result from powerful and productive communication.
These
five principles are present in the communication process of
successful individuals: Directed Communication™ is what
successful people do. The conscious development of skills in
each of these principles helps you better identify issues
you see every day and will improve the performance of your
Superstar cast. All of Jeffrey’s programs combine the
simple truths with easy-to-remember rules that raise the
influence of every participant. Salespeople, managers,
department heads, CEOs, customer service, and front line
employees will all benefit from this program.
Directed
Communication™ is a communication guide towards a specific
achievable objective, and it aligns with the natural process
of human communication. It works through the patterns
inherent in purpose and flexes to the unique aspects found
in every interaction. It provides those who wish to succeed
with the skills necessary to find the right fit for the
right reasons.

19. What does the
Oxford Company logo signify?
The
Oxford Company is a representation of a full moon
and a cresting wave as the letters O and C. These
elements were chosen to communicate the
metaphor of the moon and the ocean and how they work
together to create change and opportunity through their
harmony in a continuous, predictable cycle. As the ocean
anticipates the moon, the tide spells the difference between
life and death ...so will change define your business.
In
the midst of a wave about to crash upon you, like change in
your life and the life of your organization, Jeffery
believes that application of knowledge will land you safely
