Communication training workshops
How to Be a Better Communicator is Axiom’s renowned programme of communication training workshops.
Over the years we’ve successfully delivered these workshops to thousands of delegates worldwide in companies including AstraZeneca, The Co-operative Group, Edexcel, Kingfisher, United Utilities and Which?.
In a practical, straight-talking and fun workshop, usually lasting a day, we help managers and leaders develop their abilities as communicators.
This is no standard sheep-dip. During the set-up, we’ll work with you to tailor the workshop to your organisation’s precise needs. And afterwards, we can provide one-to-one coaching to help delegates put their new-found skills into practice and cement changes in the way they engage and lead their teams.
If you'd like to discuss your needs, please use our contact form or call us on +44(0)1329 833411.
What delegates say
When asked what they will do differently after the workshop, delegates’ comments have included:
- “Take responsibility for communication and don’t wait!”
- “Stop relying on email”
- “Be more aware of the differing communications needs of my audiences”
- “Check that my messages are truly getting through”
- “Use communication as tool to improve performance – not a tick box exercise”
Course Content
Popular areas we often cover are:
- planning communication
- the power of storytelling
- building dialogue
- running great meetings (via technology or face to face)
- high-impact presentations
- techniques to ensure messages are retained, understood and acted upon
- communicating during times of change.
We aim to strike a balance between expert input, inspiring examples of best practice, and practical exercises to hone communication skills. The emphasis is on tips and techniques that delegates can really apply in their world – backed up by theory for those who want it.
Delegates leave our communication training workshops better equipped to engage and lead their teams. And that means better individual and collective results.

What clients say
“Axiom worked with us to create and deliver a series of one-day workshops in several global locations to equip line managers with practical tips and techniques on how to communicate effectively with their teams. The feedback was exceptional and we have seen a real difference in the way managers operate.”
