Improving public speaking and presentation skills for external communications
We developed bespoke training programmes to ensure each group got what it needed. These tailored programmes include online seminars, storytelling workshops, small group coaching as well as 1:1 remote coaching for more senior executives.
Post-session feedback was excellent, with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5. As a result, they have expanded the programme to include more people and more departments. We are a retained supplier. Typical feedback was: “This was the most practical and valuable coaching I have ever received. I wish I’d done this years ago.”
Wise
Media Training – Spokesperson coaching for Wise
We devised a tailored programme to train new spokespeople on how to use the Wise’ messaging, structure communications and deliver with real impact. In the sessions we role-play a variety of interview situations and topics that spokespeople can expect to encounter and give them proven techniques to handle even the toughest interviews.
Over 50 groups of Wise spokespeople have already been trained. Following the sessions, participants consistently show clear improvement and feel both empowered and enthused to take on their roles as effective speakers for Wise.
