- Interpersonal Communication: Strengthen relationships for success

Why communication?
99% of problems in business are due to ineffective communication
I'm likely not far from the truth when it comes to most problems being related to ineffective communication.
If most problems in business are due to ineffective communication, then it pays to identify what these problems are, and solve them through better communication.
This isn't abstract training and coaching about communication. I work with you to identify and solve your real business problems.
To bring communication training and coaching to life, I use a 5 step communication model called Releasing Agility
Release - set free from confinement
Agility - move smoothly and quickly towards your business goals
Learn more about the Releasing Agility model here.

Workshops and Seminars
Workshops are a powerful way of bringing theories and ideas to life.
As an award-winning workshop Teacher I always bring an experienced based approach to teaching and learning.
I use an inductive laddering model where we start with the underlying principles and truths. Once we've firmly grasped the underlying principles, we work outwards - exploring how to bring this to life within the context of your work, goals, ambitions and problems.
This allows the information and principles to move from merely information to actual knowledge. See an article on the two learning styles here.
All workshops have a mixture of teaching styles, including lecture, interaction, group activity, reflection and practice - this is why they win awards.
The Communication Super Power Workshop
The Communication Super Power Workshop
My flagship, award-winning workshop starts with why communication is so important to personal and business success.
We then cover the underlying core principles and science of communication, before bringing these to life in a series of interactive scenarios related to the workplace.
There is also an online, self-paced version that I can offer bulk discount codes for too.
I've run this workshop over 150 times. It's still a joy to run.
The 10 Behaviours of Effective Employees Workshop
The 10 Behaviours of Effective Employees
Another award-winning workshop where we use various mediums and media to bring to life the 10 Behaviours of Effective Employees.
We explore each behaviour and uncover why behaviours are so important to aid in growth, delivery and a positive workplace.
We explore why behaviours matter so much - hint, they’re the culture of your organisation. Using multiple mediums we bring each one to life, leaving a physical or digital product you can share with your wider organisation.
Business Storytelling Workshop
Business Storytelling
This full day workshop is hosted and run by a Sunday Times top 10 best selling author. It’s very good.
During the workshop you will learn how to craft a good story and why stories are the key to moving people into action.
This is still in trials. If you would like to be an early adopter for a reduced rate please get in touch. info@cultivatedmanagement.com
Zero to Keynote Workshop
Zero to Keynote
This workshop is a full day of developing excellent presentation skills.
It is strictly limited to 10-15 people to allow time and space to practice, and to support those who are nervous about presenting.
We cover the basic communication science, dive into how to frame up an idea before moving on to structuring a talk, dealing with nerves and presenting with confidence.
This workshop content is now available as a print or digital book.
Management & Leadership Team DISC Workshop
Team Alignment using DISC - workshop
In this workshop we use the DISC tool to understand our own preferences for communication, as well as our peers.
This workshop is designed for leadership and management teams.
After understanding more about DISC we cover how we can start to align and work with those who have different communication behaviours to ourselves.
This is a powerful workshop for bringing leadership teams together.
Releasing Agility Seminar
Releasing Agility Seminar and Workshop
In this half day Seminar we play a puzzle game which perfectly demonstrates how to Release Business Agility.
It has all of the steps of the model in it, brings some fun and is super energising.
We learn how to come together to solve problems, why having a clear painted picture is so important, how experiments don't always work and how we sometimes need to do the work in order to make it better.
I have a video on how to run it, if you want to have a go without me.

Energising Talks
I've been doing International Keynotes and company event talks for over 15 years now - and I also teach others how to present.
If you'd like an energising talk to get your team inspired, motivated and thinking differently, then I likely have a talk for you.
I come to your office, or event, and deliver an energising talk.
As an International Keynote presenter I know how to work a room and leave people feeling energised and refreshed – all packaged up with fun and humour.
I have a few staple keynote talks or I could rustle up something specific for your business. Happy to hang around and do a Q&A or short seminar also.
If you'd like a specific talk that is not one of my staple Keynotes, then please give plenty of advanced notice.
Some talks that may inspire:
- The 10 behaviours of effective employees
- How to thrive in your career
- Talk about Value - and that's not just financial
- How to climb the career ladder
Please don't hesitate to email me about anything on this page, or if you'd like to see how I can help you and your team develop your super power of effective communication.
