Interest-Based Communication for Companies

Bring the course to your people
Interest-Based Communication is a three day course taught in St. Louis by Vance Crowe. Companies can send people to a class, or have a class arranged for their own team. Tell us about your team below and we will follow up personally.

What the course teaches

Five competencies, each as a named, practicable technique: interest-based negotiation, storytelling, conversation, conflict, and presenting. Techniques include mirroring (repeating back what you heard as fairly and completely as you can), steelmanning (arguing the other side's position better than they can state it themselves), and asking how instead of why. Every session is practiced on participants' real situations, not role-play scripts.

"Learning interest-based communication from Vance might actually be the single highest leverage skillset that I ever developed before starting this company."IBC course alum, ad segment recorded from a real course session
"Vance was incredibly responsive and collaborative, making it easy to integrate his session into our broader event strategy. Most importantly, he has a remarkable ability to connect with people."Mid-America Farm Credit
