The Bergerac Company is a training and consulting firm focusing on the hard issue - communication under pressure, when it makes a difference. We work with organizations all over the world in a wide array of industries. In business since 1986, Bergerac is based in Dallas, Texas. Our innovative training programs, PowerTalk, SuccessTalk, CustomerTalk, MeetingTalk and TrainerTalk can be custom designed to meet specific needs along with our Executive Coaching. So our prospective clients may experience a Taste, Touch and Feel of our training, we deliver a Showcase program as well. Bergerac offers a unique perspective of why and where there is a communication failure within an organization, and then provides the skills and knowledge to fix the problems. We see ourselves emerging as the standard against which all other communication can be judged. Our approach is built on the most solid foundation of psychological research and an adaptation of theatre techniques. Studies demonstrate the power of emotions in all communication, especially in driving decisions. We teach people to be authentic and yet impassioned as they persuade, influence, negotiate, handle customer frustration, manage teams, coach subordinates, motivate and lead. Named after Cyrano de Bergerac, our company strives to live up to the courage, eloquence and honesty of its namesake. Cyrano was a 17th century poet and swordsman with a very large, unattractive nose. Edmond Rostand's play, Cyrano de Bergerac, captures Cyrano's transformation from social outcast to hero, his physical liability becoming invisible in light of his great wit and verbal brilliance. We hope our clients will be inspired by our use of several quotes from Rostand's play.
