Higher Performance Through Psychologist Insight

Psychologists Eve Ash and Peter Quarry established Ash-Quarry Productions with a clear vision to produce world-class training videos and training packages for the corporate market. Their extensive range of business training programs has won numerous prestigious awards.
Eve and Peter met as vocational psychologists working for the Australian government back in the 70s, and now their company is now one of the most prolific producers of innovative training resources. Productions in the United States and Australia have given Ash-Quarry an easy to understand quality for the international scene.
Peter is a well-known performance management expert, was the TV psychologist on 'Good Morning Australia' for eight years and appears as host and/or expert in over 200 training videos. Eve, who founded Seven Dimensions, appears in over 100 of the videos, is a regular keynote presenter, and has co-written Rewrite Your Life! (Penguin 2002) and Rewrite Your Relationships! (Penguin 2004).
Best selling videos over the years include the Improving Service Series, People Skills, Feedback Solutions, Performance Excellence, Take Away Training and Boomerang. Eve and Peter are currently producing new video titles for release in 2007.

Boomerang
Learn how to use the reciprocity urge to create happy customers and cooperative teams.
How can we turn angry customers around? How can we get others to listen to us? How can we influence members of our team?
The answer lies in understanding the reciprocity urge, the basic drive in all people to respond according to how they are treated.
Bill is unhappy with members of his team. He discovers that his own behaviour is the main cause of his problems. He realises that he needs to change the boomerangs he is throwing out, to ensure he gets the desired behaviour back.
Boomerang will make your audience think about their own behaviour and how it needs to change if they want happy customers, cooperative team members and motivated staff. It is ideal as a session starter, or as a support for team development, customer service training or leadership development.
