The Craft of Leadership Communication
Leadership Communication
Programmes for Elite and C-Suite clients
Leaders need to express their vision in an authentic, authoritative and inspiring way.
Leaders should never underestimate that how a message is communicated is as important as the message itself. A great new vision can be sabotaged by ineffective communication.
Craft of Communication has expertise to help leaders understand and explore the behaviours that determine their communication, and impact, of their message. Leaders are then introduced to a toolkit of communication skills that enables them to motivate, influence and inspire in a challenging, ever-changing business environment.
The Craft of Leadership Communication Programme is a unique set of modules that combine in-depth, personal communication coaching with a toolkit of high-level technical skills. Our work empowers clients to develop their Personal Presence and an Authentic Communication Style that ensures leaders, as communicators, are as powerful and inspiring as their vision. The modules in this programme are:
- Impact and Gravitas
- Personal Presence
- Influencing Skills
- Developing Emotional Intelligence
- Managing Change
- Managing Conflict
- Managing Stress
- Story for Leaders
- Voice and Vocal Presence for Leaders
Women & Leadership
Craft of Communication has been working with women in the business sector for over twenty years. We have supported Women Leaders, Executives, Team Managers and women during career transitions, empowering them to communicate with authority, authenticity, clarity and eloquence.
The process of communication is complex – cognitively, physiologically and emotionally. However, the rules of engagement, determined by the physics of communication, remain the same: what we think and feel influences our behaviour and, consequently, our communication.
The issues around gender are exceptionally powerful influences, all the more because they often work at an unconscious level. This is known as ‘Unconscious Bias’ and it is present in all of us.
Craft of Communication works with women to bring the Unconscious into the Conscious, building awareness and empowering them to make positive choices and respond effectively. This process enables women to communicate effectively as leaders.
Women, Leadership & Communication empowers female Leaders to fulfil their potential, develop their confidence and personal presence. They build up a personalised toolkit of communication skills that ensure that, in any situation, they are always seen and their voices always heard. This enables them, as women, to lead and inspire.
This unique programme is wholly practical and interactive. There are no lectures; we give clients physical interactive tools and exercises that address the effect of bias on womens’ thought, language, behaviour and communication.
Feedback from our Leadership Communication Programmes
“A resounding success. Everyone in the Leadership team is eager to start using their new-found skills and to build on their growing confidence.
“One of the best training programmes we’ve had – online or face to face. The Trainers were excellent – they were able to make it fun and engaging - so welcome when we now spend our days online. There was time for reflection and individual suggestions and tips for improvements, and the chance to try new techniques right at the workshop. I found it really useful for myself and definitely would recommend it for others.”
What I particularly appreciated was the way you made a connection between skills that I am already able to use, like certain kinds of questioning, as a way of solving the problem I’ve been having with different audiences. Your techniques to help me manage audience psychology really helped me with one difficult group. I was able to defuse conflict and take back control of the direction of the meeting. Your whole approach was very enlightening
The training has proved invaluable and not a day goes by where I do not apply it in some form or the other. I would go so far as to say that it might be some of the most useful training I have received in my professional career.
“The whole day was fantastic. I was fully engaged and learned multiple skills that I will be able to use in many different work situations – presenting, facilitating, one to ones, team meetings, conference calls, videoconferences. The Craft of Communication team were an absolute joy to work with
