Communicating with confidence
Communicate with purpose
Connect with impact
At the heart of powerful communication lies one essential goal: connection. Whether we’re speaking to a colleague, a client, or a room full of stakeholders, our ability to share — not just inform — is what builds trust, clarity, and influence.
This experiential workshop explores how to communicate in a way that resonates. We go beyond technique to examine how your voice, body language, and choice of content can shape the way you’re heard, understood, and remembered.
Through interactive exercises, real-world scenarios, and actor-led skills practice, participants will explore what makes communication effective — and what happens when it falls short. The session creates a safe but energising environment to test, refine, and stretch communication skills with expert guidance.
Course outline
“It’s not just what we say, it’s how we say it.”
The aim of this workshop is to demonstrate the importance of voice and body language to ensure we achieve congruence in our communication, so that our messages are landing as we intend them to land.
We’ll share structures to ensure that our messages are clear and concise.
We’ll look at how we can be charismatic communicators and connect with our audience - finding the balance between strength and warmth to gain insight into what makes others trust us as leaders. Skills practice will provide participants with the opportunity to put learning into practice and receive constructive feedback from trainer and peers.
