Why Communication Leadership is important
Communication is complex and whilst we may share a common language, the way people listen, attach meaning and respond can be wildly different from person to person. The brain is a busy place when we’re communicating, and so sometimes a conversation can create more noise than insight. Be it a simple misunderstanding or a lashing of hard words, the chances are, we’ve all experienced the conflict it can create.
When words matter the most, make them meaningful.
This training makes communication simpler and easier. You’ll have more confidence to hold the bigger conversations and reduce strong emotions in yourself and others. You’ll have a tested method for developing solutions that turn conflict into partnership and you’ll enjoy better relationships. Ultimately, you’ll have the skills and tools to make a bigger and more positive difference.
Communication Leadership has been delivered to more than 600 people since 2011. Whether you lead people or seek to influence people this course is for you. From CEOs, senior managers and business owners to new leaders, thought leaders and emerging talent this training offers communication excellence.
WHY CHOOSE THIS TRAINING?
We understand how the brain learns and so we structure our trainings to ensure quality. This means the approach taken is more comprehensive and designed for life-long learning as opposed to 'tick-box-leadership-training'.
No Half Haircuts
Squeezing our bigger trainings into half-the-time, is a little like giving someone half a haircut. We just wouldn't do it! The brain is complex, sustainable results require a comprehensive approach that understands how the brain wires new information.
No Broad Brush
Broad brush leadership trainings attempt to cover too many themes and lack depth, meaning the application gets lost. Our trainings focus on specific leadership themes, so we can deep-dive into skills, methodology and robust application.
No One Gets Lost
Our open trainings have a maximum of twelve people on them, so no one gets 'lost in the crowd' and everyone gets the space to deepen their learning, have their needs met and engage fully in the training.
TRAINING SUMMARY.
Focusing on what increases communication effectiveness and what derails it, Communication Leadership develops a heightened awareness of language and how to use it skilfully for positive outcomes.
Part 1: Wired to Connect - How the brain communicates at it's best
The brain contains a number of sensory language channels, and whilst it’s complex, understanding a little about these channels offers great benefits. In this first part of the training, we see how language works in the brain and identify simple and practical changes we can make to increase rapport, learn more from others, reduce misunderstanding and build trust. Mastering these fundametals makes the rest of the training even more powerful.
Part 2: Coach & Empower - Gain the skills of a Coach
In part two, we focus on the core skills of communication and take them to an advanced level giving you the skills of a Coach. You’ll learn how to empower others to develop their own solutions, open up new thinking and see people move from problem and drama to possibility and action. It’s these core skills that create change and develop real potential.
Part 3: Raise & Preserve - Get positive outcomes by raising concerns
Most of us have experienced those uncomfortable moments when raising concerns with others. The risks are esculating conflict, being misunderstood and emotions flaring. In this third part of the training, we take the ‘edge’ off having the more challening conversations. You’ll learn techniques to stay centred under pressure. You’ll have a message structure that presents your concern in a clear and constructive way and you’ll have the skills to help avoid strong emotions flare.
Part 4: Resolve Issues and Create Partnership
Navigating conflict isn’t straight forward and is unlikely to go away unless solutions are sustainable. Add in the stress of conflict and it’s understandable why it can be so daunting. In this final part of the training, we define the difference between forced solutions and sustainable solutions. We look at what helps people ‘disarm’ and work together to build solutions together. Through practical exercises, you’ll learn a set approaches used in international peace process to turn conflict into partnership.

How is the training structured?
1: Science base – You’ll hear the science behind each part of the content, not so much to feel lectured and academically drowned, but just enough to add to your insights and relate what you hear to your real life experience.
2. Form – As a leadership specialist, my training also includes Neuro Linguistics and brain-based training methodology. Broken down, it means I train according to how the brain learns … each part of the content is presented in terms of why it’s important, what the tool (or model or skill) is, how to apply it and how versitile it is. There’s a method here that makes it simple and accessible for you to have a comprehensive understanding of how a tool works and how to apply it.
3. Practical – Learn by doing. On my trainings you’ll be busy; I aim to minimise the ‘sit and listen’ parts and maximise ‘go do’ parts.
4. Layered training – This means that each part of the training connects to and builds on previous parts.
5. Meta training – In short, I model what I train as I’m training it … maximum sensory congruence!
