How do we get you out of your head and into your potential?Chris Ulrich on CNN

CU in the Moment provides coaching and training that focuses on body language and presentation skills. We will teach you how to be poised and carry yourself with ease and confidence. This is not a false sense of confidence, but rather a genuine representation of your true self, only better. You will learn how both your non-verbal and spoken messages are received, and how to improve your delivery. To do this, CU in the Moment utilizes body language training and improvisation techniques to prepare you to think and act quickly. You’ll also develop active and mindful listening skills, and critical and creative problem solving skills.

 

  • Increase your executive presence and learn how to be conscious in the presence of others by understanding the perceived meaning of nonverbal communication.

  • Learn how to ask powerful questions. This is a critical skill that will help you to get to the truth when speaking to others, and ultimately, will get you what you want.
  • Strengthen personal and professional relationships, take out the guess work, and become more outcome focused.
  • Prepare for real life scenarios, such as interviews, by utilizing improvisation to practice communication skills, responding to difficult questions, and active listening in a safe environment.
  • Develop and fine tune your ability to read body language and begin using it in your life immediately.

“I believe that we are more creatively empowered in our work and play when we are listening, aware, and centered in the presence of creative tension, rather than being consumed by a state of high anxiety and self doubt that leaves us fearfully disempowered. We can learn how to use these concepts and become active participants in the moment.” ~ Chris Ulrich
