A course on how to connect, communicate and thrive together.

This is a course on how to deal with people. A course on how to excel in our interactions and engagements with those we work and live with. A course on how to give and receive feedback and how to adapt to different social styles. A course on having better conversations, building relationships and staying connected.

We might love people, we might not. But we cannot escape them. To foster warmer environments, build better workplaces and nurture stronger cultures, the place to start is how we connect and make the most of every interaction.

Delivery methodsĀ 

The course is available through one of two delivery methods:

  • virtually: typically three 3,5-hour live sessions, delivered via Google Meet
  • in-person:Ā two 6-hour face-to-face sessions

Between sessions, whetherĀ online or in-person, participants apply what they have learned to their real-world conversations. The resulting experiences areĀ discussed at the start of the next session.

Course outcomes

On completing the course, participants will be able to:

  • Navigate difficult conversations
  • Interact well with clients
  • Make their casual interactions more meaningful
  • Recognise how the quality of their interactions impacts on their relationships
  • Apply the core practices at the heart of all good interactions
  • Give constructive feedback
  • Adapt their style of interpersonal interaction to achieve their desired outcome in any human encounter

“The role-playing activities brought the course to life for me. Day One was great in terms of all the components of a conversation and helped in having clever conversations. Day Two was amazing. I felt challenged and empowered to use these tools in my life.”
