Changing the world, one conversation at a time.

About us

Business gets done through conversation. So what if we told you that you and your colleagues can learn how to have strategic business conversations -– not just what to do, but also how to do it -– that produce both immediate and lasting results? Our mission is to change the world, one conversation at a time. So for more than 30 years, we have been helping business people learn how to have those conversations. Our approach, based on decades of research, means that participants spend about two-thirds of workshop time in hands-on practice, addressing their own, real-world scenarios from their own job experiences – not off-the-shelf case studies. They receive feedback and are able to use what they learn immediately, and they also see themselves as others see them – often for the first time. Our data show that such aha! moments generate immediate, lasting behavior changes that equip participants to have more productive business conversations, immediately and consistently, thus improving employee retention, improving relationships, and increasing production. To learn how strategic conversations can help you deliver immediate and lasting results for your organization, call or email us today at 704.892.5097 or inquiries@alexanderhancock.com.

When managers don’t understand how to communicate effectively, it’s easy for them to give feedback that is too vague or too harsh, which can ultimately demotivate employees. Fortunately, there are five specific tactics managers can implement to improve team performance, build stronger relationships, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
