Leadership Communication Training Courses

Our Zoom and Teams options allow delegates to access our training anywhere in the world.

And it has been an invaluable option during lockdowns. It allowed organisations to continue to train their people even though they could not meet face-to-face.

Its flexibility means it remains popular.

The sessions tend to be shorter, with more breaks and a greater focus on one-to-one coaching and feedback.

But they still include everything you would experience in our face-to-face training.

You can expect practical sessions that will build confidence and influence.

And your leaders will learn new techniques and ideas to help them reach their potential.

Our leadership communication workshop format ensures hands-on, interactive learning, allowing leaders to practice and refine their skills in real-time scenarios.

During the first part of this training, you and your delegates will attend a ‘self-taught’ online course.

This will take you through all the communications theory and techniques you would learn with us in the classroom.

It will take about an hour and is ready when you are – but you need to complete it before the second part of the course.

And then your business leaders get to put what they have learnt to the test in a session with our expert tutors.

It is a good question.

But let’s be clear, we do not just use journalists to deliver our courses.

We tend to use them to support our qualified leadership coaches on some courses.

Journalists have good communication skills. And they can play a crucial role in helping leaders improve their communication ability.

They also have a unique ability to understand what makes audiences tick and how to grab and maintain their attention.

Their expertise covers voice coaching, delivering presentations, presenting online and in person, managing nerves, networking skills, increasing personal impact, developing ideas and messages, and communicating effectively.

Who better to help you find your own personal communication style?

Many of them also have extensive team leadership experience and have led busy newsdesks.

We will tailor your leadership communication skills course to your needs, requirements and personal development goals.

We will work with you to design a training course that matches your vision. And that helps your leadership team fulfil its communication potential.

Your course could include: 

• What effective communication looks like
• The barriers to good communication
• How to enhance your communications in different situations
• Identifying different communication styles and tailoring what you say to them
• How to build trust and rapport with your target audience
• Managing nerves in challenging situations and the role of interpersonal skills
• Managing emotions during difficult business conversations
• The importance of tone of voice and how it influences others
• How to improve your listening and develop your questioning skills
• The importance of positive language and a clear message
• Understanding the impact of body language on your leadership communication style. And how it influences others
• Why you need to plan and prepare your written communication. And understanding different structures and formats.

Leaders will also need to speak to the media and deliver high-profile speeches and presentations. So, your training could include elements of our media training and presentation skills training.

Our training is also ideal for communications managers looking to refine their leadership communication skills.

Do you have people new to leadership roles who need to improve their interpersonal communication?

Do you have leaders to return to work after a break?

Perhaps you have experienced leaders looking to refine their skills. Or who want to encourage strategic thinking, achieve better results and increase their impact.

We can even help leaders plan and prepare what to say for crucial announcements or about complex issues.

Tell us what you need and we will design a course to meet the aims, objectives and experience levels of you and your business leaders. And that hones your communication process.
