Communication and Influence
Boosting the impact of individuals and teams.
When it comes to business, talk isn’t cheap. The way we communicate and how it’s received by others is a big deal because it’s, ultimately, how we make things happen – how we build relationships, lead, sell and build our organisational culture.
Have you ever experienced a situation where you just don’t understand why the person you are dealing with doesn’t understand you? We can help. Our one-to-one coaching, group and team development will support your people to communicate effectively, influence successfully, build rapport and negotiate with colleagues and customers. All conversations will improve.
Using a tool called VoicePrint, we will look at what you can do to improve the way you talk.
Who is the training for?
- Anyone who would like to improve the effectiveness and impact of their communication
- People who want to make more sales, be a more effective leader or negotiate and influence others
- Organisations that want to build a coaching culture
What does training involve?
- A range of options available including one-to-one and team communication coaching, plus group ‘Communication and influence’ modules to enhance skill and confidence
- Alongside a range of other tried and tested methods, we are experts in using a unique communication tool called VoicePrint. This helps to zoom straight into the habitual ‘voices’ being used by an individual or team, and the positive and negative implications of these. This includes both a self-report and 360 element and helps to explore typical ways of communicating, as well as how these can be impacted when under pressure. VoicePrint provides a common framework and language for improving the dexterity of an individual or team’s communication fast.

“The VoicePrint tool gave me a useful common language to explore my habits with Jo, my leadership coach. We explored the impact of my typical communication style on my leadership, including the importance of not relying on a limited range of influencing methods.”
“I felt like I had super powers. I have increased my presence in meetings, increased engagement with my team and become more structured as a manager. Motivation, productivity, delegation and empowerment are all on the rise. The transformation in just a couple of months has been seismic."
