Poker Provides you with Fifty-Two Skills for Business & Life

Enough for one a week. Learn and practice in real time by creating an event

Workshop on communication and negotiation skills with audience attending a professional presentation
Communication and Negotiation
Understanding non-verbal communication is a valuable skill in all fields of life. It's one of the most important skills a poker player needs to master, and it's surprisingly complex. It also deepens your understanding on how to negotiate effectively.
Emotional Intelligence and Psychology
Emotional Intelligence and Psychology
Poker success relies upon robust mental durability. You need to learn to regulate your emotions, to be patient during difficult periods, and to understand human motivations. The frequent setbacks and the need to overcome these make poker players experts at handling these challenges.

Decision Making and Risk Management
When you enter a poker hand, you need to have a plan. Ideally, one informed by your cards, but as importantly, your opponent's previous play. Which strategies are best to employ at each moment? What kind of risk tolerance do you or they have? Is pure game theory the way to go? Mastering an adaptive strategy is as crucial in poker as in business.

Leadership and Team Skills
Learn how to be more confident in your decision-making and how to stay calm under pressure. You can make hundreds of tiny decisions during a poker game, and they all have consequences. It's the same with leadership and your team- you want to build trust with consistent behaviours.
