Communication, Negotiation, and Leadership Training for Teams

We believe dignity is non-negotiable, in leadership, sales or at the negotiating table.

Welcome to The Cyr Method

In our experience, the team is rarely the problem. How you introduce change is.

  • A new process rolled out without the people who actually do the work

  • A sales team pushed harder on numbers until the trust that used to close deals starts slipping

  • feedback that gets used against someone instead of used to fix something

  • A metric fixed at the cost of the morale that hit it in the first place

  • Good people start keeping their best ideas, or their best leads, to themselves

Inspire change without losing the trust it took years to build.

Why We Do This

I was homeless twice, once living in a forest, once after addiction took everything I'd built. I recovered, starting over at minimum wage. From there I worked my way to executive leadership, closing multi-million dollar negotiations and rebuilding teams from the ground up. Some of it was talent. Most of it was learning how to understand, listen, and communicate well.

Now I Teach Everything I Know.

How We Work

Understand. Adjust. Protect.

We start by learning what's actually working on your team, then help you make the changes you need, in leadership, culture, or sales, without losing the trust it took years to build. For teams across Halifax and Canada.

The Approach

We start with a conversation about what's already working, before we ever talk about what to change. From there: a workshop, a session with your leadership team, or hands-on support for a sales team under pressure to perform. Built to protect the trust and morale that took years to earn. In person and remote.

What people say about Mishkin

  • Andrea - Atlantic School of Theology

    Mishkin Cyr and The Cyr Method completely blew us away at the Atlantic School of Theology (AST). Bringing a workshop to PhDs, senior faculty, and veteran staff means the bar is incredibly high, but Mishkin delivered. He provided profoundly insightful, 'lightbulb moment' frameworks that left our seasoned team in absolute awe. The impact on our communication was immediate, inspiring, and felt both personally and professionally. Our team is already demanding a follow-up session—Mishkin is truly exceptional!

  • I walked away clearer on where my failings or lackings are, and how a few subtle but firm adjustments could give me significantly more leverage across the week.

    Zunair: Founder of Growth Marvels

  • It was so wonderful to know that, in Mishkin's hands, any project would be a success. He's an excellent communicator and is great at seeing the big picture, while always considering the details and individual steps needed to get there

    Timna - Labour Relations Specialist

  • Honesty. I often come to you when I need an no sugar coated/bs answer on something. To me you have proven to value honesty, even if its not to your benefit

    Nick - Sr Manager Technical Support

  • Empathy - I find that your values driven approach to humans gives me a way to understand people that I may miss.

    James - Director of Technology

Cyr Method — Process Steps

Every Engagement Starts the Same Way

1

We listen first. We learn what's actually working before we talk about what to change.

2

We build a plan together. Built around your team and your goals, not a generic program.

3

We start with one change. Small enough to protect trust, big enough to prove it works.
