In every workplace there will be moments of friction. How these moments are managed plays a key role in an inclusive environment. Everybody benefits from working in an environment where problems and disagreements are dealt with constructively, collaboratively and respectfully. This practical session provides a toolkit for participants looking to develop confidence in their communication skills, as part of their broader inclusive practice.

“I found the trainer very engaging and it was great to have a course led by someone who understands our industry.”
This is a practical workshop which provides participants with a series of tools and models they can utilise to help them navigate potentially challenging conversions with colleagues, collaborators and other stakeholders. Building on the popular ‘Transactional Analysis’ model, we’ll look at different characteristics of healthy and effective communication styles and give participants space to consider how they could apply these in their own interactions with others. Crucially, we’ll explore how to communicate in a way that invites the collaborative and respectful working dynamics that are key to an inclusive and thriving workplace.
Participants will have the chance to work through recognisable scenarios, to ‘test out’ different approaches, and to consider which aspects of their own communication style they want to develop or adapt. They should leave feeling more confident, relaxed and better equipped to conduct and support conversations that have a positive outcome.
