Communication and Influence

Speak clearly. Listen deeply. Influence with integrity.

A full-day facilitated workshop that transforms how your people communicate, connect, and bring others with them.

Develop the skill that shapes every relationship at work. Our Communication and Influence workshops blend expert facilitation with practical application — indoors and out — to help your people express themselves with clarity, listen with genuine intent, and influence others in ways that build trust rather than resistance.

Why Do This Course?

Most communication problems in a team aren’t really about communication — they’re about trust, timing, and never having had a safe space to practise saying the harder thing out loud. This is the workshop that gives people that space.

The real disagreement is rarely on the table

What gets said in a meeting is often not what’s actually going on. We teach people to notice and name what’s really happening.

Influence without authority is now the job

Flatter structures and cross-functional teams mean almost everyone now has to influence people they don’t manage. It’s a learnable skill, not a personality trait.

Trust is built in how people are heard

Not in what’s said. Teams that listen well recover from conflict faster and repeat themselves far less.

Practice changes behaviour, slides don’t

This isn’t a lecture on communication theory. People leave having actually practised the harder conversation, often outdoors, away from the usual office dynamic.

What This Workshop Includes

Our Communication and Influence workshops are practical, engaging, and grounded in real-world application. Each session is tailored to your team, but typically includes:

Expert Facilitation

Each session is led by an experienced facilitator who guides the group through carefully structured activities focused on communication styles, active listening, and the art of influencing without authority.

Tailored Themes

Topics can include communication styles and preferences, storytelling and persuasion, difficult conversations, influencing upwards, or bespoke themes relevant to your organisation and the dynamics your teams navigate every day.

Indoor & Outdoor Learning

We blend structured indoor facilitation with guided outdoor activities. Working outside removes the usual workplace dynamics, creates space for more honest conversation, and helps people communicate in ways they wouldn’t in a meeting room.

Inclusive and Accessible

Sessions are designed to suit all backgrounds and communication styles. The day is structured, unhurried, and facilitated to ensure everyone feels safe to speak up, practise, and grow throughout.

Ideal for Mixed Teams

These workshops work equally well across all levels — from frontline teams to senior leaders. When people understand how others communicate and what drives them, collaboration becomes easier and influence becomes natural.

What’s In It For You as a Leader

If you’re the one signing this off, here’s the honest case for a single day out of the business.

Fewer repeated conversations

Most of the time leaders spend “managing” a team is really time spent re-explaining things that weren’t heard properly the first time. That time comes back.

Faster, more candid decisions

Teams that can disagree productively in the room make better calls than teams who quietly disagree in the corridor afterwards.

Problems surface earlier

When people feel safe to speak plainly, issues get raised while they’re still small — not after they’ve become a resignation or a missed deadline.

A visible shift, not just a good day out

This is built to change how the team actually operates on the Monday after — not just how they felt about the workshop itself.

One-Day Communication and Influence Workshop

This immersive, full-day experience is designed to transform how your people communicate — building clarity, confidence, and the ability to influence others with authenticity and impact — through expert facilitation, practical tools, and time spent working together outdoors.
