Focusing on the components of effective communication and working on them through drama gives individual delegates a real sense of how they come across to others and provides a practical opportunity to develop.

Creative Communicators workshops are tailored to the needs of your team. They strengthen interpersonal relationships between colleagues and improve communication with clients. They have a positive impact on people’s sense of wellbeing, and also on the success and effectiveness of the team who are so much more than the sum of the individual members.

Feedback:

Ric White, The Innovation Company (UK) Ltd: “I learned that relationships can be formed in conversations without the content being important, ie the way we act towards each other is the key component… the way we do communication is too important to ignore.”

 

Sue Creak, Project Manager, British Airways: “I’d definitely recommend David for his confident and fun approach.”
