'BEST TRAINING I'VE EVER DONE'
67% of participants say Communication Leadership is THE BEST training they have ever done, the other 33% regard it as ‘one of the best’. 250+ people have completed this training since 2011.
As the most popular training in our portfolio, participants gain advanced communication skills to enhance relationships and generate greater win-win possibilities.
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. Advanced personal communication alone reduces misunderstanding and increases creativity and collaboration. Building on these skills, we then embed frameworks and tools to resolve conflict, defuse stressful emotions, improve relationships and create solutions that meet practical needs.
“We’ve put half our +100 staff through this training and we’re seeing positive results in staff and customer interactions. Our managers and front-line staff are confidently using David’s techniques to tackle challenging conversations and to build positive working relationships. We’re now integrating the skills and knowledge into our company culture.”

QUALITY, NO COMPROMISE.
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 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
Is this training the right for me?
This is one of a few trainings I run, so do look at the others to make sure you select the right one for you. For COMMUNICATION LEADERSHIP, do this training if you want to advance your skills to create both positive and innovative relationship, support others to excel and resolve conflict with confidence.
What's the value for my employer?
Will I find this training a challenge?
Why four days?
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!
