SPEAK to Be Understood

Excelling Your Professional Career

Master Everyday Communication

As a seasoned communications professional, I have worked closely with and provided guidance to hundreds of corporate spokespeople during my 35+ year career in corporate communications, along the way distilling what makes an effective communicator.

Expanding Communication Skills: The Importance of Everyday Interactions Beyond Public Speaking for Professional Growth and Relationship Building

More often than not, communications skills are evaluated on the basis of how well an individual speaks or presents in media or on stage. To get better at that, you can participate in training programmes for public speaking or presentation skills. Make no mistake – these are important skills. But, unless you speak publicly for a living, you may have about three to five engagements for public speaking annually.
SPEAK to be Understood leverages coaching techniques to make you an effective communicator in everyday situations – in professional and personal life. It is about
  • communicating clearly what you want to convey
  • ensuring that what you said was understood as you meant it
And this is as important in high-stakes situations such as negotiating a major contract or pitching for new business as it is in everyday ones such as setting clear goals for your team, translating the company’s vision as it relates to them, persuading a colleague to collaborate on a cross-functional project, delivering updates to senior management, making a compelling case to build support for your ideas.
So, are you an effective communicator or do you
  • Find it difficult to convey your ideas with clarity
  • Hesitate to speak up and contribute in meetings
  • Fail to motivate your team
  • Shy away from making presentations or leading meetings
  • Struggle to secure buy-in for your proposals/projects
  • End up compromising in negotiations
  • Avoid difficult conversations

HOW WILL THIS WORK?

As with any coaching conversation, you will bring the aspects of communications in which you would like to become more effective. Or, you could bring an upcoming critical conversation or situation in which you would like to make greater impact.

We will work together using proven communications techniques and a 5-step framework to create an impactful way for you to communicate your views in the specific situation and learn how to apply this in other situations. The aim is to bring a lasting change so that you become effective in your spoken communication and show up in every situation with confidence.

If you prefer not to bring specific topics, then, based on our discussion during the first session, I will put together a customised SPEAK to be Understood pathway for you.
