Inclusive & Impactful Communications Training 🙌🏽
How much thought have you put into how your messaging is perceived? Does it go straight to the point with empathy and compassion? Or has your email or text been taken completely out of context?
Our lived experiences shape our values, beliefs and the way we communicate with one another. With our workplaces being more diverse than ever, this richness in this diversity is beautiful as it is chaotic.
This workshop will empower leaders and team members with the skills to communicate with empathy, tolerance, and social perspective-taking.
The result? Better collaboration due to increased sharing and receptivity to different ideas and ways of thinking.
Participants will enjoy increased creativity, better problem-solving, and the capacity to innovate.
Program outline:
- Understand the impact of our bias in the way we communicate
- What inclusive language looks like vs what it doesn’t
- How to consider diversity and inclusion in your content without tokenising
- How to shift to meaningful communications with visibility driving accountability
- How to unfreeze from “I don’t want to say the wrong thing” to feel empowered to have polarising conversations that shift the dial
- Importance of aligning your external marketing strategy with your internal one
Sessions are:
- Bespoke, live and available in a variety of lengths from 60-90 minutes to two-day programs
- Fun and interactive: Audience participation is encouraged to create an interactive environment
- Scalable: From individual coaching to groups of 500 participants
