We work with people in organisations to help them become confident, brave and skilled communicators. Our belief is that all great communication is simple, authentic and connected.

We have been working with organisations for many years, from senior leaders to graduates and everyone in between. Our work has taken us round the world, working with different international cultures.

We bring a wealth of experience, lots of energy and create a safe, friendly environment so that our delegates can learn, thrive and have fun. We consistently get feedback that the learning on our courses is memorable, and the effects long lasting.

‘This was by far the best training course I've attended since joining the company. The facilitators were brilliant, and kept the perfect balance between teaching, learning and fun. I would highly recommend this course to people of all grade levels.’

Delegate form Robust Conversations

We like to work creatively and collaboratively with our clients to design and deliver bespoke courses. This list of programmes is neither exclusive nor exhaustive, but a guide to help you understand our approach and range of courses we deliver.

If there is an area you would like us to work on which is not included, give us a call.

Robust Conversations

How to have those tricky, awkward conversations with colleagues in a way that is assertive, kind and clear.  We focus on practice and feedback.

Presence and Impact

We use a variety of methods to manage state, modulate the voice, choose words and use the body to achieve the best possible impact, so that participants are communicating authentically and compellingly.

Presentation Skills

Developing the skills of presenting with impact, our focus includes connecting with your audience, managing nerves, being in control, using PowerPoint effectively (if at all), and being warm and congruent.

1:1 coaching

We are highly experienced and effective coaches. We have worked with people on a variety of issues, including developing personal impact, increasing empathy, managing stress, having courageous conversations and enhancing credibility.

Leadership

Leadership is an art that requires many delicate skills, including clarity of purpose, empathy, flexibility, warmth, emotional intelligence, optimism, realism, an ability to connect and an ability to stand back. All these attributes are demonstrated through communication; we work with groups and individuals to develop the skills that underpin them.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

The case for increasing levels of diversity in the workforce is more compelling than ever.  We raise awareness and facilitate discussion and debate by bringing issues of unconscious bias to life, so that delegates engage on an emotional and intellectual level.

Bullying & Harrassment

Bullying and Harrassment in the workplace can destroy confidence, reduce morale, and create a culture of fear and despondency.  Some cases are clear; others more subtle.  We teach the difference between bullying and harassment, bring lived experiences to life, offer engaging exercises and facilitate discussions to encourage delegates to reflect on their own and others’ behaviour.

Storytelling

We have been telling stories for thousands of years.  We have been using tools like PowerPoint for 30 years. Leaders need to inspire, create narratives, and engage their people, not load them with information. We explore how to tell good stories and shape content, as well as creating opportunities to practice.

Neurodiversity

Raising awareness of the “big three” neurodiverse conditions – Dyslexia, ASD and ADHD, we use talking heads monologues to bring the lived experiences of those who are affected by these conditions to life.  We also look more widely at the concept of “typical” and “diverse” traits.

Accountability

Being accountable, understanding the difference between intention and impact, and managing biases (conscious and unconscious), are all critical skills for an effective workforce. We raise awareness of your impact, as well as developing the skills needed to call it out in others.

Mediation

Relationships can break down. We facilitate critical conversations in a safe, kind, non-judgmental environment, giving both parties time and space to reflect.

Conference MC

We can provide an experienced and engaging anchor-person at conferences to add professional expertise to your event. We also coach presenters, enabling them to practice, speak with confidence and own the space.
