Rik's current project is the latest (2nd Edition) release of his acclaimed book, "Don't Look At Me In That Tone of VOICE!"  It is the result of years of research and insightful observation on human communication. Rik developed this truly unique technique for understanding remote communication.

 

The last year (2008) was a banner year for Rik D. Middleton, as he released his much anticipated first book. Since then it has SOLD OUT of that 1st edition. Wow, can you believe that? I still can't grasp that this topic was so well received. The encouraging thing is it only took nine months to sell out of the entire first printing.

 

In this book, Rik D. Middleton uses the compelling stories and comments from his unique perspective to show us the enduring value and importance of listening with understanding.


The author describes communication at its essence, by providing both practical and insightful lessons about what it means to be in the moment and listening with a new intensity. As a result, those who read this book will find themselves aspiring to new levels of communication visualization success. 

 

The new edition of the book now has two new fascinating chapters. They include real life case studies conducted in years of Rik's research. Mr. Middleton has had the opportunity to work with some really incredible companies as a consultant over the last year gaining some valuable insights. Many of these case studies relate to customer service and lie detection. Great for your call center staff or anyone else who talks to the public or clients on behalf of your organization. There are many new examples of how to recognize and use the techniques of The Art of Visual Listening.

Rik brings with him his twenty plus years of training and presentation experience.  This is a must see event tapping into all your senses.  Rik's presentation will walk you through The Art of Visual Listening.

 

Originally The Art of  Visual Listening techniques were developed to help law enforcement hostage negotiators. Rik was delighted to see the response to the 1st edition of the book which sold out in only 9 months.  The 2nd edition hit stands in late September 2009 and has received a great reception from its readers.

The presentations are informative, entertaining, and interactive.  There are several activities that Rik has developed specifically to enhance your understanding and enable the material to come alive.  Rik's belief is that if you cannot relate the material to your daily lives you won't use it.
