Leadership Communications - From Intention to Impact
Leaders may work at getting communications right, yet many are unaware that the impact they are having on others is different from their intention. Often, they do not realise they are unconsciously undermining messages by small things they do and say. This one-day course enables leaders to adapt communications to their audience’s needs, rather than to rely on merely giving information, and to ensure that their “micro” messages are compatible with their “macro” ones.
Leadership Communications - From Intention to Impact is from our Leadership & Management series. At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisations, ensuring that each delegate gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
Key Training Features:
- Some of the differences we experience in workplace populations;
- The use of Forum Theatre to put techniques learned into practical use
- The small things we say and do that make people around us feel included, appreciated and respected – or excluded, undermined and disempowered;
- Understand how our brains interpret social stimulus in terms of threat and reward;
- Communication issues are brought to life with via forum theatre techniques, an innovative, engaging and practical way of allowing participants to develop understanding and skills, while avoiding the discomfort of taking part in role-play.
Who Can Attend:
Current leaders, Board Members, Senior Executives, Senior Managers and anyone who aspires to take on a leadership role or have maximum impact when they communicate.
Learning Outcomes:
- Appreciate the unconscious and unintended impact that leaders’ behaviours can have;
- Consider how to adapt their style to meet different people’s needs;
- Be alert to any difference between their intention and the impact they are actually having; and
- Be able to adjust their communications accordingly.
Learning Resources:
Go above and beyond your training with new collaborative resources from our partnership with Kogan Page, an award-winning independent publisher of business books and content. Additional learning resources include print books, ebooks and online learning courses, which will take you through a journey experience of blended learning.
