Leadership Communications - From Intention to Impact
Leaders often work hard at trying to get 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 with the small things they may do or say.
This half-day course enables leaders to adapt communications to their audience needs and to ensure that their “micro” messages are compatible with their “macro” ones, that HOW they communicate is consistent with WHAT they want to achieve.
At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisation, ensuring that each participant 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:
- Different communications we experience in the workplace.
- The use of Forum Theatre to put techniques learned into practical use
- The things we say and do that make people around us feel included, appreciated and respected or excluded, undermined and disempowered.
- Understand how our mind interprets social stimulus in terms of threat and reward.
Who Can Attend:
Board Members, Senior Executives, Senior Managers and anyone who aspires to take on a leadership role.
Learning Outcomes:
- Be able to appreciate the unconscious and unintended impact that behaviour can have;
- Be able to consider how to adapt styles to meet different peoples needs;
- Be alert to any difference between their intention and the impact they are actually having; and
- Be able to adjust their communications accordingly.
