Praxis: Personal Impact and Development
Powerful Communication for Business

Catherine Tackling those difficult conversations at work


The quality of your success in business depends directly on the quality of your communication with others and in that respect communication is not about your work; it is your work.    

What conversations are you avoiding at work?  What could the consequences be if you don’t address them?  How much more successful could your communications be? 

Drawing on our expertise in the psychology of business, theatre and somatics, this programme provides an invaluable opportunity to increase your understanding of the dynamics involved in face-to-face communication and to discover and practice tools and techniques for excellence.

We engage all the senses - not just the mind - because powerful communication is not just what you say, but how you say it. By the end of the programme, you will have the courage and confidence to speak with clarity and purpose so that other people take you seriously, listen to what you have to say and engage in meaningful and effective dialogue. 

 

 

What will I get out of the programme?

 

You will gain:

  • A range of specialist tools and techniques designed to produce power and excellence in face-to-face communication
  • Extensive practice in a broad range of real settings – one-to-one situations, meetings, team talks, networking, skype and video-conferencing 
  • Specialist feedback and support.

 Your organisation will gain: 

  • A more skilful, articulate and successful communicator thereby enhancing the culture and performance of the business. 

What is the programme about?

This programme is about powerful communications that impact on others.  We explore courage, passion, purpose, congruence, fluency, flexibility, alignment and interconnectedness with others and in doing so help you to develop real authentic confidence and self expression.

You will spend time practising the varied tools and techniques within the broadest range of settings.

Drawing on our team of expert facilitators including actors, psychologists and somatic specialists, we work in the safe environment of the rehearsal room to bring together the courage that comes from the heart, the conversation that comes from the mind and the congruence that comes from the body.

Finally, we provide a high facilitator/participant ratio so that we can work closely with you on your live issues and on developing your unique, authentic and powerful communication.

Who is the programme for?

Leaders, managers and professionals wishing to tackle courageous conversations and to become more skilful, articulate and successful communicators.

What Participants think...

“This course is fantastic – It provides an alternative view of how to communicate, in particular the physical presence and voice aspects i.e. delivery of the message. 

Course presenters were excellent”

Anderson Foster, Technical Assistant
Total E&P UK Ltd

“I now have tools I can use to prepare for all meetings/conversations - not just difficult ones.  The primary benefit though is around the personal behaviours/habits/traits that I have and how to control them”
