FAQ
Yes! Despite common belief, we are not simply born with good communication skills - they are developed with time, guidance and practice.
Our core communication methodology was designed by our Co-Founder Colin James (an introvert!) who committed his work to understand what constitutes excellent communication and leadership by studying the best communicators he could find. From this came our methodology, which now anyone can learn (with practice) and apply to master this skill.
Our methodology is centred around practical application, the ‘how’. To truly embed the learning process participants first apply their new skills in a safe and supportive learning environment before translating it to their workplace.
Ongoing practice and support to embed the skills are also vital. New behaviours and attitudes are formed by frequent, consistent and conscious practice over time; this builds new neural connections and patterns, so we can think and behave in new ways. Our training uses neuroscience backed techniques to develop new communication skills and habits to ensure the learning is embedded.
Today, leaders increasingly confront a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) business environment. Effective leaders - who shine in this environment - are hard to find. Developing your leader’s skills and capabilities will ensure they have the tools and techniques to thrive, no matter the challenge.
