About The Workshop

We cover:

Throughout the session Rob weaves in stories and anecdotes to bring this information to life.

As we start the day with your own DISC profile, you’ll have a richer understanding of where your communication strengths and weaknesses are. It’s a great primer for the day.

Throughout the day we'll master the underlying scientific principles of communication before laddering on top how to apply these to various workplace scenarios such as meetings, presentations, networking and face to face communication.

It’s a fun, vibrant, creative and thought provoking course where information comes alive and attendees will leave understanding how to improve their communication skills.

Attendees get loads of good ideas during the session, plus a workbook, copies of the course material deck and a monster list of resources to go forth and practice.

All we need is a room, a screen, some flipcharts, space to do activities and enthusiastic people wanting to grow themselves, and your business.

Why Communication Skills?

Communication skills unlock business agility - i.e moving smoothly and quickly towards your business results and goals. They are also how you build a culture of respect, clarity, honesty and empathy.

Effective communication skills help you paint a clear direction, move people into action and deal with problems and conflict. It's why we call effective communication behaviours a Super Power in the world of work.

We often say that 99% of problems in business are down to ineffective communication. Get ahead of the problem, and solve the ones you have, by developing effective communication in yourself and your teams.

What others have to say

Scott Summers –

“I knew Rob was a great speaker as I’d seen him present at a number of industry conferences so I had high expectations of the communications workshop. Rob worked with me to understand what we wanted to be delivered and achieved, and then facilitated a jam packed workshop that had something for everyone. Rob’s energy, expertise and amiable presenting style was a big hit with all of us and we left with new skills, insights and practical knowledge.”
