Why don’t people communicate properly any more?!
I’ve had enough of crappy communication – it’s driving me around the bend.

So, I’ve made it my mission to help people communicate properly, person-to-person.

Is lousy communication driving you crazy?
Do you feel unappreciated and frustrated when people don’t engage with you? I know I do.
Have you noticed that as technology takes over our lives, people have forgotten how to reach out, how to relate, connect and talk to each other?
When dealing with people, we want to feel heard. Equal. Valued. We want real connections with a real person – a person who is present, authentic and genuinely caring.
Why is that so hard to find?
“Businesses with effective communication practices are over 50% more likely to report employee turnover levels below the industry average.”

So who am I?
I’m Sarah Dalton. Accredited Corporate Trainer. Sales professional. Business woman. Mother of two beautiful girls. Speaker and motivator.
I’ve been training, developing and engaging people for more than 20 years now. I’m Director and Founder of Paragon Professional corporate training provider, and Co-Director of Peak Performance Promotions, national leaders in sales training and development
I’m born, bred and based in Sydney, but I enjoy working with clients all over Australia.
I’m an Accredited Trainer, DISC Advanced Accredited Practitioner and member of the National Speakers Association.
It’s time to connect again, people!
I say this: Let’s bring back the ability to communicate, person-to-person.
Let’s get people relating again, by actively listening with empathy and courtesy. By using positive body language, eye contact and a focus on good old-fashioned etiquette.
It sounds so simple and obvious, doesn’t it? And yet so many businesses are neglecting these vital skills. And they’re losing sales and productivity as a result.
I’ve seen the profound benefits of my personal communication training: thriving, open cultures, high performing employees, improved talent attraction and retention, and long-term sustainable sales.
How it helps you
“Nonverbal communication has between 65% and 93% more impact than the actual words spoken.”

Sarah was a fantastic trainer and was able to relate to all participants. The course was very relevant to evervone and I would highly recommend Sarah.
Trainer was brilliant. Staff now need to follow through with what we learnt during this session and not revert back to old ways. Otherwise staff morale will return to what it has been.

Hi Sarah,
I just wanted to thank you for yesterdays training.
The DISC Behavioural Profiles were so interesting and a fantastic way for the team to not only understand themselves and their behaviour better but to also better understand each other and the way we all work. Being a small team that work closely together as well as with vulnerable clients this training was invaluable. As a trainer you were extremely engaging, professional and relatable. I will be definitely recommending one of your training sessions to others within the Organisation.
Kind Regards
