The art of effective communication

Half-day workshop

Participants will pick up the basics of creating and delivering communication that achieves its purpose – and take-away tools and processes to guide their thinking.

This is a good place to start for those new to employee communication. The next level up would be our How to Be a Better Communicator workshop.

The difference it will make

• Better targeted communication that meets the needs of both transmitter and the recipient
• Greater levels of clarity in the messages and their intended outcomes
• A focus on checking that messages are being retained, understood and acted upon, not just being sent
• Greater levels of confidence when communicating

What we cover

• Questions to ask to understand your audience
• Defining the outcomes you want your communication to achieve
• Being clear about key messages
• Elements of a good corporate story
• Telling, selling and being the story
• Defining your personal communication style
• Creating a ‘story bank’ that demonstrates how your key messages are being ‘lived’
• Identifying ways to track the success of your communication

Who it's for

Those who have responsibility for communication as part of their role, for example people on project teams or communication networkers/ambassadors.
