OtherThe Communication Context Gap: Why Gen Z Struggle to Communicate and How to Help them Thrive
A few years ago, I was asked to train a group of PhD hires at an investment bank. We had three whole days to explore communication, impact and personal brand. The training manager scheduled a call a week or so before the programme and explained that one particular participant (let’s call him Eric) was really struggling with communication. Eric was technically brilliant, however his team had flagged his communication skills as a real area for development.
OtherWhat performing comedy taught me about creating psychological safety in the training room.
I have been both delivering corporate training and performing comedy for over 20 years – and in some ways these two parallel careers have little in common. For example I’ve never opened a comedy gig by sharing my learning objectives for the session. I’ve also never told a joke about my mother-in-law in a leadership workshop. Actually, come to think of it, I might have done... Most of the time though, what you say in comedy is not appropriate for training and vice versa.
