At first glance there aren’t many similarities between talking a suicidal man down from a multi-storey car park and improving business productivity but the link between the two is ‘communication'.

@STOMPSMTraining Thank you so much for the shout-out. I am glad that you found the session useful...

It had to happen eventually.... An action shot where I don't look like a dog chewing a wasp! Hurrah!!

@TheSumoGuy Your toast has gone viral....

[Nigel Taberner @level2comms]

Always great to get an amazing endorsement, but when it comes from the Firmwide Managing Partner of @LinklatersLLP .... wow!

Many thanks to my good friends at @VistageUK for presenting me with this award.
It is really heartening to know that my session is being recognised for hitting the spot and is appreciated by members.
It probably did set expectations unnecessarily high for today's session...

[Nigel Taberner @level2comms]

It might look like I'm pitching to the Dragons, but last week I got to deliver a 3 hour, remote masterclass from a professional studio set-up! Loved it!

Like many, I have every reason to dread Father's Day.

I lost my dad 35 years ago, when I was 21yrs.

Today, I want to celebrate the men who stepped into that huge void and have influenced and guided me over the years.

My old man would have been very grateful... Thank you..

The most purple event that I have EVER spoken at! Great to speak to over 300 delegates at the inaugural @citationltd Sales and Marketing Conference this morning... Many thanks to the team at @PomonaPartners for the introduction and managing the logistics...

[Nigel Taberner @level2comms]

@42Courses Great to spend time with you....

During their careers, each police officer is likely to encounter between 400 to 600 traumatic events. Most citizens will experience between three or four in their lifetime. https://t.co/CbHnbkO1xb

@VisualsbySauter Findhorn... I'm lost for superlatives...

[Nigel Taberner @level2comms]

I've had some cool jobs... but I missed the boat on this one! Would have quite liked to have been the sheriff of Poole Harbour...

[Nigel Taberner @level2comms]

@Joanna__Hardy Yes. 'Liquids, creams and gels'...

[Nigel Taberner @level2comms]

Listening is the hostage negotiators superpower... it is what makes them different and allows them to resolve fast moving, highly emotional situations, when all seems lost...

[Nigel Taberner @level2comms]

@paulbattye @AvantiWestCoast I travel pretty regularly Chester to London.
I am yet to get satisfactory connectivity on Avanti WiFi. It is pretty awful, and they need to improve it...

[Nigel Taberner @level2comms]

Where do you even begin...?

How do hostage negotiators approach difficult and emotional conversations, when the stakes are high and everyone around them are losing their heads...

Get in touch and let's talk about your event.
