We've all read the project proposal blah-blah, haven't we? "This is who we are, and this is what we do." It's self-centered; it's boring, and it's just plain blah-blah!

What if the content in your proposal and all of your communication spoke to your clients' different preferences and thinking styles? Wouldn't that be helpful? Welcome to the power of writing and communicating with your whole brain! The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) is the world's leading thinking-styles assessment tool. HBDI's Whole Brain® theory helps us understand how people prefer to think, process information and communicate.

In this fun, interactive Graceworks workshop, we'll learn how to use Whole Brain® Thinking to craft proposals and speak to clients that will help them get your message and help them make the decisions that are right for them.
