Communication fundamentals

The ability to communicate effectively underpins every successful interaction at work. Connection has never been more important in our digital and hybrid world.

This practical session teaches something fundamental – that a small amount of time spent consciously developing ‘the basics’ can transform your personal impact. Pitches are more powerful, meetings are more efficient, teams are more effective.

  • “It was great to have the space to think about how the characters we see in the spotlight have consciously engineered themselves and how we can learn to do the same.”

Communication is a fundamental skill – there is no role won’t benefit from improving and we’ve found people of all levels have learnt something important.

It is especially pertinent to those who take responsibility for communicating with the outside world on behalf of the practice.

This might be at a project level – talking to contractors, fellow design professionals or clients. Equally it might be at a more strategic, practice level, talking to press and media, movers and shakers, potential clients and collaborators – or even the general public at large.

Communication is an ‘art’ not a ‘science’ – there is no right or wrong way to communicate – but there are certainly some pitfalls to avoid and some positive principles to consciously observe. 

  • Explore how truly great communicators create impact
  • Learn how to communicate effectively using your Words, Music and Dance
  • Understand the 4Ps of the voice
  • Learn to narrow the gap between your intention and impact
  • Gather some quick tips to instantly elevate your virtual presence

We’ll guide you through all of the above and more in this workshop, leaving you with a clear idea of how to communicate with confidence and poise in both your professional and personal life. 

This session can be run as a more intimate workshop for a small group of people (8-12) who want to go particularly deep into the topic.

Alternatively, we are able to run this session as an interactive talk for a larger group (20+)

    • Inspirational leadership

      The requirements of a modern leader have shifted dramatically in the last few years. In this session we’ll help you to understand and articulate what kind of leader you want be, what kind of leader your business needs you to be and, most importantly, how you can go about realising that leadership on a daily basis with your team.

    • The art of storytelling

      A recent study at Stanford University found that details when told in stories are retained x22 more than raw facts alone. Human beings are hard-wired for story.

      If you want your clients to remember you, your product or your company, then you need to master the art of storytelling.
