The Magic Between People

Seminars

Seminars typically entail 10-30 people spending a day learning how to apply Dr. Kahwajy's theories of interaction.

Multi-day seminars can be arranged if more in-depth training is desired initially. The content of these can vary depending upon client preferences, but the standard syllabus would emphasize techniques for improved interpersonal interaction and leadership.

Keynotes

Such addresses typically provide thought-provoking introductions to thinking about leadership, negotiation, innovation, and diversity within organizations and emphasize the larger dynamic of how to enhance these areas through more effective interpersonal interactions.

Executive Advising

Personalized advising ensures that participants successfully apply their new knowledge of effective interactions to actual situations that arise during their interactions with their management team, major stakeholders, customers, and others.

Our advising features a highly targeted program that works toward applying, analyzing, and reflecting on your real situations and how to make each of them increasingly more effective.

Programs

Programs are either seminars designed for delivery to a large audience or gathering, or individual or small-team executive advising.

The former exposes a large group to the core concepts of Dr. Kahwajy's theories developed and proven at Stanford University and around the globe at Fortune 50 companies and beyond. They provide a good starting point for more in-depth engagements.

We offer a number of customizable programs and can be engaged to develop customized programs should the standard programs not precisely match your needs.
