Peterborough Town Library

Eben Jones Classroom

Hosted by Colton Seale of Pyxis Academy. Learn how to better engage in conversations with your team, colleagues, or family.

Seale's workshop integrates more than a decade of research conducted for the FBI and his experience applying this methodology around the world.

Participants will learn how to better navigate conflict, improve their ability to engage in difficult conversations, better gather information, and uncover and contextualize risk.

Have you engaged in a conversation that felt out-of-sync or just wasn’t going the way you’d hoped? If so, this series will allow you to make sense of what wasn’t working and to right it. This class is great for anyone who wants to expand their communication skills, including managers, entrepreneurs, anyone working in people-based professions, and even parents of teen-agers.


Colton Seal

About Colton Seale:

A Peterborough resident, Colton is offering this class free to the community. Colton had a 22 year career as an FBI Special Agent. He conducted thousands of interviews and led a variety of specialty teams in high-pressure, high-stakes settings domestically and internationally, including in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa. The central theme to all these efforts was the importance of effective communication. As part of his role in the FBI, Colton worked with researchers around the world to develop the U.S. Intelligence Community’s premier interviewing course. He is the founder and principal consultant of Pyxis Academy and Pyxis Academy Coaching, where his primary mission is to help people discover their excellence.
