Why Choose This Training?
More Than Just A Course Of Lectures
What gets in the way of developing and holding on to new communication skills are old habits of thinking and speaking. Even if the advice is very good the reason why it rarely sticks are the mental habits people inevitably revert to, especially under pressure.
Unlearning those old habits and internalising a more effective and lasting approach to communication needs more than a short course of lectures on how to do it.
What Makes This Training Stand Out?
What makes this training stand out is the exceptional support through one-to-one coaching sessions and continuous feedback. Changing behaviour is not an easy task as old habits are hard to break.
With a 40-year track record we can help you cultivate practical skills, and build your confidence to so you can successfully navigate real-world challenges, ensuring lasting behavioural improvements.

What is Compassionate Communication?
Compassionate communication is all about connecting from the heart. It helps us hear each other and ourselves in a way that makes understanding easier. We focus on what's alive in people - what they might be feeling or needing right now.
This kind of chat doesn't blame or criticise but listens for the real message behind the words.
We use this method to build better relationships, at home and at work. Instead of old ways that lead to conflict, we teach skills similar to those found on a nonviolent communication (NVC) skills course, except we our focus is more related to the world of work and business. With these tools, we express our feelings and needs clearly without hurting anyone else.
