Other Programs
While our core workshops focus on a number of different speaking situations, we also tailor workshops to address a specific situation as outlined below.
Leading Effective Meetings
Meetings are one of the most ineffective communication situations in most companies. This workshop teaches participants to build consensus and solicit team involvement through a format that facilitates discussions and decisions.
Groups have used this workshop to:
- Improve teamwork in meetings
- Develop a better format for meetings
Giving Constructive Feedback
Feedback should be a two way conversation that corrects a behavior and provides the tools and direction to move beyond it. We teach managers to establish buy-in by balancing perspectives for a common solution.
Groups have used this workshop to:
- Improve effectiveness of feedback conversations
- Increase managers' confidence in delivering feedback
Everyday Communication
Becoming a better communicator is hard work, and when people focus on improving their skills every day, they see more lasting results across all communication situations. In this workshop, we teach the fundamentals of organizing and delivering effective messages in three every day communication situations: a telephone call, a one-on-one conversation and a small group meeting.
Groups have used this workshop to:
- Improve understanding of the listener's perspective
- Increase managers' ability to organize a telephone call, conversation and a meeting
Making Your Point with Visuals
Visuals can be a powerful tool for a presenter or a significant handicap. We define the role of visuals in meetings and presentations and teach managers to design visuals that deliver a clear message, lead an audience through a presentation and provide clarity to concepts.
Groups have used this workshop to:
- Evaluate existing presentation decks
- Improve the quality of visuals
- Create a standardized approach to visuals
